Watch a news broadcast or read a newspaper article and break it down using the core concepts of media literacy. Identify how the message is constructed, whether it embeds values, and how different people might interpret it differently. Write an analysis explaining your findings with examples.

On examining a recent news broadcast aired on a major Indian news channel reporting on the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), we can employ the core concepts of media literacy to deconstruct the message and understand how media shapes perception, embeds values, and elicits different interpretations among audiences. These core concepts include: all media messages are constructed; media messages are constructed using a creative language with its own rules; different people experience the same media message differently; media have embedded values and points of view; and most media are organized to gain profit and/or power.

Media as a Constructed Message

The first core concept of media literacy asserts that all media messages are constructed. This means that news content is not a transparent window into reality, but rather a selectively curated version of reality. In the case of the CAA news segment, the message was constructed through a combination of visual imagery (protests, political speeches, interviews), audio (voiceovers, background music, sound effects), and verbal narratives (anchor’s script, reporter commentary, and expert analysis).
