Critical thinking and media literacy

Critical thinking and media literacy are key skills for students at SENA and other educational institutions. In a context of information overload, it is essential to assess the credibility of sources and discern biases. These skills enable students to thoughtfully address problems, make informed decisions, and develop innovative solutions. They also help them navigate the digital environment, identify misinformation, and interact responsibly with content. Together, they foster a more informed and engaged citizenry, facilitating academic and professional success in a complex world and contributing to a more reflective society.

 In Colombia, the presentation of news in the media is a topic that generates diverse points of view and discussions. The media in the country have the responsibility of informing the population about events and events that occur at the national and international level.

However, it is common to find a wide variety of styles and approaches when pr

senting the news. Some media outlets follow a more neutral and objective approach, presenting the facts impartially and without any interpretation or bias.

On the other hand, there are also media outlets that tend to develop a more subjective approach, where an interpretation of events is shown and opinions and analysis are added by journalists.

Likewise, it is important to highlight that the presentation of news in Colombia is influenced by different factors, such as the political orientation of the media, economic interests and relationships with the government and other political actors.
