Relationship Between Media Literacy Skills and Traditional Literacy Skills

According to an articled called Teaching Media Literacy by Jane L. David, there is in fact a relationship between media literacy skills and traditional literacy skills.  In both reading online and reading print text, students must employ their use of critical thinking.  This allows students to read a passage (online or in a book) and analyze what it means to them.  Also for both types of literacy skills, students must use "prior knowledge and make predictions."  From both types of literature, I think that students can learn and gain knowledge.   The point that teachers have to make to students is that they must be careful to use reliable sources when reading online.
