Description :
In a media saturated world of globalization, an interesting paradox exists : geographic literacy appears to be on the decline while geographic information is on the rise. This paradox is explored to argue that increased mediated information does not produce more meaning, but rather leads to a catastrophe of meaning and the medium. With more mediated information there is less meaningful information. We need to address geographic media literacy as a primary mode through which to address geographic literacy.
