Survey of 141 university students in Communication and Education programs. The article reports a contrast between the 97.8% who "recognize the importance of acquiring tools for critical media analysis" and the 13.8% who say the skills were addressed in coursework, suggesting educational systems may not adequately address media literacy.
"Although most young respondents (97.8%) recognize the importance of acquiring tools for critical media analysis, only 13.8% say these skills were addressed in their coursework."
