6 lessons

Threads

  • Role of media and digital democracy

Description

Pupils explore the power and influence of the media both locally and nationally and consider how citizens can effectively navigate the information they are presented with.

Understanding how powerful the media is builds on pupils knowledge of the media and its role within a democractic society. This unit is timely as it examines the media's role in shaping perceptions, influencing policy, and holding power to account. By learning these concepts now, pupils can critically evaluate media content and its impact on society, preparing them to be media literate and informed citizens.
