Nowadays, we are more curious about what notable people’s life is because we never heard or thought about them before. However, once I had listened to the podcast, I heard the journalist used social media as a reflection and learning tool. Even though there are so many people who disagree with or are against her point, she still did not give up on using social media. It is beneficial to take to people who are in the same field and learn from each other. For example, she mentioned that there always going to have one people who are watching you 24 hours just to pick up on your mistake. However, she is using those negative not to influence her mood too much. Instead of that, she is using those commendations to reflect and think in deeply. She is using a variety of social media platforms to express herself. Also, she is not afraid her personal life on Instagram will expose on Twitter because she knows Twitter is another world. She said people will learn about her personality in a professional way. People all have different opinions, so those people who are famous should not take everyone’s opinion into account. Furthermore, everyone had made mistakes. It is not a shame to make mistakes, it is important of conscious and willing to change them.
Media literacy is something people should learn not just in the classroom but also in the company and society. It is something we all should be aware of or keep in mind. Media literacy is not a rule to be afraid of, it is a bucket we all working on. Media literacy shapes our personality on social media and knows what we should say and what should not. It is the way to know who is out there to watch. As the other podcast said 2 plus 2 can be 5 if everyone believes that on social media. People really should separate what is fact and what is personal opinion online. Otherwise, it will be a big conflict for society to deal with the real facts being misunderstood.
