Information literacy or media literacy?

Dear library professionals!

I was just matching my OMR sheet for paper III with answer key available on UGC website and the answer number 4 doesnโ€™t seem to be correct as per my knowledge. Paul Zurkowski, ย president of US Information Industry Association, was the first who introduced the term โ€˜information literacyโ€™ instead of digital literacy in 1974.

Can anybody conduct a quick search on this and let me know the results so that I can improve my knowledge for next attempt.

I have attached an article for your reference please have a look on the highlighted lines in yellow.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ajaz
