Abstract(s)

Nowadays almost all knowledge comes to us through media, both printed and digital media. But media messages aren’t a mirror of reality. They are constructions of that reality and the citizens must know how to analyze these messages critically, and how to produce messages using media. The school has an important role in this objective. So, Media Education is more urgent than ever.
