Abstract
This paper argues for media and information literacy (MIL) as a public good.
When nations and peoples are informed, media and information literate, engaged,
and empowered, information as a public good becomes possible and sustainable.
However, for people to be empowered with media and information literacy,
media and information literacy itself must be a public good. In this paper, the
author shares what was in his mind and heart when the 5 Laws of Media and
Information Literacy were articulated and invites partners around the world
to pour into this container intended to stimulate a melting pot of knowledge.
For the first time, using the proposed 9 Aptitudes and 7 Excellences of Media
and Information Literacy, this paper buttresses the argument that media and
information literacy is a public good and must be deployed for the public good.
It is a way for people to guard their minds and hearts.
