She added that everyone should acquire this literacy skill for daily life.

We need to create opportunities for this learning by first understanding how media influence various sectors like politics, economy, education, and everyday life.Media are more then channels for transmitting information-they play a central role in shaping public opinion.” She called for increased educational efforts so that media literacy becomes institutionalized across all layers of society.
