Media Literacy and Media Education: Digital Media for Future

Abstract

Media Education and Media Literacy play a central role in the life of a modern society and its issues, where Media is primarily understood to be a public good and an institution for the development of citizens. The Russian Ministry of Communications included Media Education in its list of priorities for developing the media space. Media Literacy should be part of the media ecosystem and education, and News Literacy (a new concept for Russia and in education) should help to develop the audience’s critical thinking and critical autonomy.
The field of Media Literacy is at a crossroads of many academic disciplines and it has multidisciplinary characteristics. The conference in Moscow will bring together scholars and teachers, engaged in research in different areas of Media and Education, and also media professionals (who work with educational content), to discuss new trends in Media Literacy.
The main aim of the Conference is to continue cooperation between researchers in different universities around the world, studying the problems of Media Ecology, Media Literacy, Media Education and Media Culture.
