Abstract :This paper evaluates W. James Potter\\\'s 2019 book \\\"Seven Skills for Media Literacy\\\". Potter critiques media literacy resources for offering ideas but lacking specifics. He argues existing research focuses on the need for these skills but fails to show how to teach or assess them. His work bridges this gap by identifying seven core skills (analyzing, evaluating, grouping, inducing, deducing, synthesizing, and abstracting.) and outlining methods for developing them. Potter examines algorithms, heuristics, and trap-avoiding strategies for each of the seven skills in the following chapters. Finally, Potters highlights the importance of the seven skills discussed in the previous chapters and shows how they work together to promote media literacy.
