8. Media and Information Literacy as a Composite Concept Until 2009, media and information literacy used to be two separate concepts, with media literacy on one hand and information literacy on the other. Media literacy was primarily the concern of media practitioners and educators while information literacy was the expertise of librarians, archivists, and curators. The coming together of information or message delivery platforms is primary the reason why these two concepts should be fused as a composite concept.

9. REASONS WHY MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY SHOULD BE FUSED AS A COMPOSITE CONCEPT Nowadays, we are seeing the phenomenon called media convergence wherein boundaries among media channels and platforms are blurred. We are also dealing with the abundance of information and knowledge in today's world, which are readily available from the mass media, Internet, libraries, museums, and other information providers. Aside from providing information, these sources of information and media content are likely to shape our values, attitudes, and behaviour, and influence our lifestyles and working conditions.

10. REASONS WHY MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY SHOULD BE FUSED AS A COMPOSITE CONCEPT Another reason why MIL should be taken as a composite concept is because of the seemingly overlapping concepts of information literacy, media literacy, ICT literacy and digital literacy.

11. Overlapping Concepts Another reason why media and information literacy should be taken as a composite concept is the seemingly overlapping concepts of information literacy, media literacy, and technology (digital literacy). A comparative matrix of their characteristics is shown on the table below.

12. Tracing the Roots of Information Literacy, Media Literacy, and Technology (Digital) Literacy. Characteristics Information Literacy Media Literacy Digital Literacy Origin Library and information science Media and civic studies Computer science and informatics Focus How data and information in any format and form are managed, using different technological tools. How media is used for good democracy and development (personal, professional, and societal). How ICT and digital resources are used to engage in safe and ethical social networking and collaboration. Competency Emphasis Ability to access information; the evaluation, creation, and sharing of information and knowledge using various tools, formats, and channels. Ability to understand, select, evaluate, and use media as a leading surveyor and processor, if not producer, of information. Ability to effectively and critically access and evaluate information in multiple formats, particularly digital, and from a range of sources, in order to create new knowledge, using a range of digital tools and resources.

13. Main Elements of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Understand the roles and functions of media and other information providers in democratic societies. Understand the conditions under which those functions can be fulfilled. Recognize and articulate a need for information. Locate and access relevant information. Critically evaluate information and content of media and other information providers, including those on the Internet in terms of authority, credibility, and current purpose. Extract and organize information and media content. Synthesize or operate on the ideas abstracted from content. Ethically and responsibly communicate one’s understanding of created knowledge to an audience or readership in an appropriate form and medium. Apply ICT skills to process information and produce user-generated content. Engage with media and other information providers, including those on the Internet, for self-expression, freedom of expression, intercultural dialogue, and democratic participation.

14. Since UNESCO introduced the composite concept of media and information literacy, several definitions have emerged. The multiple definitions are understandable, as the concept evolved from different views, perspectives, and models. However, an interesting definition that captures MIL’s concept and process is as follows: “ What is MIL
