I wasn't going to follow this crash course, but I'm glad I tried the first one out. It's worth it just for Smooth's voice! At the very least I'll put it on as I fall asleep

I earned my MA in Media Literacy, and I'm really happy to see this on here. For those engaging in Media Literacy for the first time, it's important to remember that literacy involves both reading AND writing (or, in ML's case, interpretation and production). Analyzing how media is created is aided by creating media itself. Once you learn some of the theory behind media, apply it to your own work, and you'll learn a lot more about the media creation process!
This has made me so, so excited. As a teacher of Media Studies I am thrilled that this is being taught. It is super relevant for the course!!

I don't have media studies in any school per say but have learned much of media literacy in the past from you tube and internet otherwise. It will be interesting to see if I learn something new.

Hana Furlotte Yeah, maybe people will even used it on CrashCourse.
It's crazy to think about how much I can understand about this for the sole reason that I was raised with social media since I began my adolescent years. I cannot imagine the level of social consciousness regarding media literacy the generations to come will possess. Anyways, as always, an excellent video!

but then again, being raised with social media came with so many downsides too 😭 At what cost
The advent of mass media in the information age means that media literacy and being critical of information is more important than ever. It's very good to learn about.
What I like about Crash Course is that they present us with so much manageable and actually useful information in only ten minutes or so; something that would usually take days or weeks to learn in school, 'if' we learn it at all.

Oh my gosh, this series is sorely needed in today’s world. Thanks so much for making this, guys.
I’m really excited for this course! As a teenager surrounded by the world of tech and social media, its important for people to understand whats going on underneath the surface, how to navigate media and the downsides of social media and the new internet of things that seems to encompass everyone lately
Great start. Looking forward to watching this series unfold. You've done it again, Crash Course.
Damn this is important, so many people have no idea the importance and effects that media has on culture and society
When you said "has led to media literacy education in schools", it reminded me about how my school just made digital literacy (which is similar to media literacy) a required class the year I went there.
This series, of all the Crash Courses, has such a high potential to positively influence people.
This is so funny that this came out today because I’m currently (since 8pm) running an awareness program at my college on media literacy and identifying fake news sources.
I majored in Media Studies for my undergrad and got to write a paper on internet culture (particularly the HP fandom) that I got to present at a communication conference a couple years ago! We had to take a media literacy course for our degree too and got to teach kids at a local elementary school. It’s a super fascinating subject and if you’re looking for a job in that vein I would totally recommend it!!
I’m a third year Commmunications major and I’ve been WAITING for Crash Course to do a series on media theory!!! Im so excited to watch these!
Just discovered CrashCourse, thanks for the overview of media literacy Jay! Looking forward to the next installments in the series.
This series has come along just as I'm writing an essay for university about advertising and critical theory So thank you so much for helping me out! 😂
This is going to be one of the best crash course series.
I teach students whose first language is not English and am doing a unit on media literacy soon - so I just want to express my gratitude not only for this series and for the very good subtitles! :)
Man, its been years since I last watched a J Smooth video. Shoutouts to this episode's writer. I appreciate the Titanic reference. I thought the blu-ray example was going to be a one off joke but to bring it up again with that quote was well executed.
Thanks for covering this important topic Crash Course! Can't wait to be able to share this series with my students.
This is clearly a sign. I spent all day yesterday trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and what I want to study. I fell over Media Studies and started to read about it and trying to find out what subjects I needed for it. And now this video. Yup. I think I might do Media Studies.
Very enlightening! can't wait for the next course. I've been trying to explain to my old man how the media affects people now and then. I just can't find the right intro to put into their mind.. this helps me a lot! Encode and decode thats the word of the day.
Thanks Jay Smooth this is a topic I didn't think I needed. But found to be very interesting and hopefully helpful in the future. Can't wait for more.
Love it! Can't wait to dive into the rest of the series! (I never comment on videos lol) keep it up, crash course!
Something I like to say related to media is that a Historian's job is to study and make sense of the past, whereas a Journalist's job is to study and make sense of the present- or in other words, to make Future Historians' jobs easier. I hope you cover journalistic ethics and the dangers of doing it irresponsibly in this series.
Incredible! We just started a research group on the subject! We''re gonna keep an eye out for bibliographical references and authors leads! Thanks a lot!
Just starting this and I’m already really excited.
I'm trying to teach my coworkers about how to obtain media literacy
Love this. As a teacher this is a great tool for me to teach my students such an important skill.
I can't wait for the next episode ! I'm already just more alert to medias, and this is only the intro
This. Is. Epic. Super stoked, Crash Course!
Love the little cameraman to the audience right of the radio! And a good start to the series.
We seriously needed this. Thank you guys so much. Too many people calling real news fake and fake news real these days.
So excited to see you here, Jay!
Oh wow. Super-stoked about this series now.
I'm writing my undergrad thesis on this exact topic (specifically political effects) - can't wait for more videos!
This is the best media-teaching-about video on KZread! It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to learn from!
I’m so glad you are hosting this, Jay!!!
Thumbs up for we want you the Choir to Sing!
Love this video. Packed with great info, no BS, not condescending.
Ooooo I’m excited for this series
Thank you so much!! I have been waiting for this course without knowing it!
Thank you for doing this. This is needed more now than ever.
Loving his voice, and loving the topic. Thank you very much.
Keen. Been a while since I first covered this topic, so I definitely need a refresher.
I'm super excited for this series
This was great. I'm a film professor who teaches a media theory and criticism course and this was very helpful. Thank you.
The thought bubble explanation is awesome!
This is not the series we deserve, but the one we need!
I am so exited for this series!
This looks like it's going to be an awesome course, and also timely.
The comments of this series are going to be interesting.

DragoniteSpam None of the topics that Jay mentioned sound in any way controversial. Sociology had a lot of social politics, which is why it didn't go down well in the comments section.
SO excited for this course!
Excellent addition to Crash Course!
Reason #42 why I'm a fan of this host: he is one of the rare KZread video hosts who uses the word "comprise" correctly.
This Crash Course series should be watched and carefully studied by all humans alive today. This subject is simply not taught in primary school. The world would be a better place if everyone had more media literacy!
This sounds really interesting! This is definitely something a lot of people need to look into.
wow, so dope you guys are doing a series on this.
My god does the world ever need this series!
This is going to be interesting! Awesome
Sooooo excited for this course 🙌🏻💞
I love this Jay.
yes! I love this! it's much needed! and as a student of film this helps a lot 🎉
Yes and many more x yes. This! Thank you. Coherence will follow shortly :)
This is a really great idea ! And I look forward to future vids
I’m excited for this crash course!
Very important subject! Thank you!!
Jay Smooth...perfect name for this series.
I'm graduating in advertising this year, so this is going to be very useful!
This already looks fantastic
Thanks for the vid! Very clear and definitely learnt some new tips.
Please please please make this available in even more languages
My favorite course created by this organization yet.
Host seems good and while I know a fair amount on the subject I can't wait for the deeper dive into the subject, IM IN
Very skeptical of this first episode, but... BUT!! This video was both entertaining and informative. Can’t wait till the next episode!
This should be taught at school, like seriously, general school system is way too outdated
