A Healthy Dose of Skepticism

Welcome to Media Smarts!

  This blog has been created to lead you towards becoming a more active media consumer.  All day, every day, you are bombarded by messages.  It is vital that you look at these messages in a critical way, figuring out where they're coming from, what they're attempting to tell you (or sell you) and how they fit with your own life.

  Please feel free to contribute - point us towards good, great or scary media, tell us what you think of something written here and ask questions.

  The most important thing you can do when you are dealing with the media is to ask questions!  Evaluate the message you are receiving and incorporate it into your own existence appropriately.
