Media Literacy Week: Representation in Media   Who is telling the story, and who might be missing from the picture?   Media can act as both a mirror that reflects our own identities and experiences, and a window that helps us learn about the lives and perspectives of others.   💡Quick tip: Look beyond the story itself. Consider whose perspective is being represented, whose voice you’re hearing and whose experiences might be missing.   #MediaLiteracyWeek #ocsbBeInnovative #ocsbLiteracy #ocsb_LT @OCSB_LT
