Reviewing the Critical Process
Developing a media-literate critical perspective involves mastering five overlapping stages
that build on one another. Let’s review the critical process you’ll be using below:
Description: paying close attention, taking notes, and researching the
subject under study
Analysis: discovering and focusing on significant patterns that emerge
from the description stage
Interpretation: asking and answering “What does that mean?” and “So what?”
questions about one’s findings
Evaluation: arriving at a judgment about whether something is good, bad,
or mediocre, which involves subordinating one’s personal taste to the critical “bigger picture” resulting
from the first three stages
Engagement: taking some action that connects our critical perspective with
our role as citizens to question our media institutions, adding our own voice to the process of shaping the
cultural environment
