Overview

This book explores the state of media literacy and media education in several Central and Eastern European countries. The main argument centers around the connection between media literacy and media education on the one hand, and liberal democratic values on the other. Data collected through a European Union funded project shows that diversity is the key word when it comes to how countries prioritize media literacy and integrate media education into school curricula. Although national governments have been fairly active in reforming the education system to include media education, civil society is the most impactful actor through the implementation of various projects linking media literacy with democratic values.
