This chapter is a research on the effects of the concept of information literacy on the economic, social, economic, and digital epochs. When examining the information, the authors also examined the facts. In defining information, it was discussed within the framework of a national statement. While focusing on how information changes technology, the effects of knowledge on society are also examined. The authors socialized the information by showing the correlations between the types of information and society and units. By socializing, they have used the concept of renewing the process, re-using the process, to provide systematic coordination. The authors saw that the problem of knowledge and the solution phases emerged. In fact, information literacy has a characteristic that affects and supports other types of literacy. In other words, it is possible for an individual to develop other literacy skills with the help of information literacy skills.

This chapter aims at investigating the relationship between popular culture, the recently dominant culture, and media intellectuals. Popular culture can be defined as daily practices preferred widely by the people. In fact, the term popular culture stems from the word, people, in English. Thus, it refers to a unification of supra-class experience of the majority. Due to its specific characteristics, popular culture stems from culture, mass, high, and folk culture, but it also reflects a more independent and common culture. It is modern, civic, entertaining, and close to consumption. It is also based on dominant values. Therefore, recent intellectuals, whom we cannot think apart from the media, play a significant role in the reproduction of popular culture. Those media intellectuals, a new and defining class, are fed from the popular culture and also contribute to widen this culture among masses. Media intellectuals are primary focal points affecting the system in terms of both consumption culture, daily life, and popular politics. Thus, one of the main actors of popular culture is media intellectuals. Such concepts and the relationships among them will be discussed in this study along with their daily examples, and the role of media intellectuals in reproducing popular culture will be analyzed by means of literature review.

Minority refers to a distinct deviation from something of which standards and norms are clear. In this direction, “becoming-woman,” which is revealed by Deleuze as the first becoming type is quite impressive for feminist theory. Women can enter into becoming-woman by disturbing the dichotomic order with their line of flight instead of acting according to the identities imposed on them. This study is based upon the concept of becoming-woman in the context of Deleuzian feminism tries to approach the issue of “becoming-woman” in the new Turkey cinema based on the film Zephyr (2011) by Belma Baş. The film is evaluated according to the three basic elements of minor cinema.

Ethics that is possible to be considered as an element which would contribute to media in terms of quality signifies the core values in sense of journalism, and hence, it can represent the bond established with reality and truth. It has been an issue how much the individuals whose perception of reality is built through the media get close to and far away from the truth, and this reflects the difference or the relation between absolute fact and what is presented in the media. Umberto Eco, in his novel titled Numero Zero, focused on how patrons, using power of media with the aim of making profits by assuming transformative power of newspapers, have twisted the truth in the news. And in this chapter, the authors deal with Numero Zero written by Eco and make a discussion on communication ethics through the book, which is analyzed descriptively.

In the consumer society, brands communicate with consumers by subjects and practices of popular culture. Photography is used as an effective medium in this process. This study that was made within the framework of consumer society and global brands aimed to analyze Lavazza calendar photos that were published between 1993-2012 in the context of popular culture. These photos were analyzed by taking into consideration non-verbal communication means (appearance, manner, activity, props, and settings) enumerated by Dyer. The findings show that non-verbal means of communication have changed in terms of popular culture according to the years in Lavazza's calendar photographs.

This chapter examines religious discourse on Facebook and brings to the fore the recurrent deceptive requests that have given rise to new forms of religious extremism and radicalism. Many Christians have turned to social media as a medium where their faith can be practiced and with the intention of enforcing it on others. One major avenue through which this ensues is in the inherent ideological requests on Facebook where members are threatened to either type “Amen” or be afflicted with curses as punishment. These misleading requests usually attract instantaneous thousands of “likes” and consenting responses that depict underlying fear. An awareness of these extremist inclinations against the backdrop of religion is crucial to the understanding and interpretation of the semiotic realities within such Facebook posts.

Health literacy describes individual's skills to understand and use the information on health issues, compliance to the prescribed therapeutic regimen, prevention of disease and accidents, filtering the information, and making good judgments to maintain a healthy life. Low school education and fundamental education and poverty are barriers to gain health literacy. If TV broadcasts are used optimally for training in health issues, they may reach many people. The density of the active physicians, nurses and midwives, national health coverage, and training activities of the civil associations for chronic disease contribute to health literacy. Controversy exists about the benefits and risks of social media and mass media to health literacy due to information pollution. Self-diagnosis and marketing of under-the-counter drugs are problems of the digital age. Some projects aiming to improve digital health literacy skills will help people to reach reliable health-related information. Communication skills of healthcare professionals are also important.
