Global research on media literacy is constantly evolving and transforming towards digital, meta-media pathways. New issues under analysis, such as human and machine interaction through Generative AI, ethics and copyrights under public commons, digital content and e-safety, as well as innovative e-learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom, place media literacy under a novel, enlarged prism of capacity building where multiple media literacy realities meet, deconstruct and intersect. This new media intelligence calls for reformed media literacy policies and strategies, and national infrastructures that (ought to) to consider the abundant opportunities and numerous challenges.
The online survey State of Play of Media Literacy at National Level (AUTH, 2023), presented at the 5th International Media Literacy Research Symposium 2024, explores media literacy policies and practices from an interdisciplinary point of view to gauge global mobility. The outcomes of the survey may provide the baseline for articulating a core national media literacy policy model, towards sustainable, all-inclusive, democratic knowledge societies that serve public commons.
