Philip's answer is correct but there is also no need for "the" or dash between @media and screen:

@media screen and ( min-width: 480px) { 
  body { 
    background: navy;
  } 
}

I presumed the 'the' was there in a vernacular way. :)

Try removing the semi-colon from the @media bracket after 480px; Did this help?
