Abstract

In the context of the Post-truth era, the Media literacy of college students can be observed in four key areas: Media cognition, Media emotion, Media awareness, and Media behavior. The results of the questionnaire survey indicate that college students’ Media emotion and Media awareness are inadequate and that their media behavior requires immediate improvement. To address this situation, colleges and universities must develop curricula to enhance the media literacy of their students, establish a theoretical foundation for the acquisition, evaluation, and creation of media information, and facilitate the growth of a competent teaching team to support the education of college students in media literacy. Additionally, efforts should cultivate a positive media campus environment and provide diverse media practice activities for college students. It is of great significance for the guidance of public opinion and the construction of ideology within universities to improve the media literacy of college students through various measures.
