Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Media literacy is very important to anyone living in the current age. We are surrounded by it, whether through advertisments on the street or videos on a phone. Media literacy most definitely affects TV viewing habits and preferences. There are many shows on television that profit off of lying to viewers or selling viewers a product. Someone who has media literacy can detect when this is the case and choose to watch a different show. I would predict that media-literate individuals watch less reality TV shows.
