Media culture has expanded massively over the last decades. There is a range of new media: smartphone, cable and satellite television, computers, laptops, camcorders, new 'on-line' interactive services, video discs and other consumer oriented interactive software. The movement from analogue to digital coding and the consolidation of communications conglomerates has given rise to a growing interpenetration of media, as genres, themes and contents flow from one to another with increasing fluidity.

Media literacy education is intended to promote awareness of media influence and create an active stance towards both consuming and creating media. At the same time as the importance of media education, we must consider the challenges that digital transformation creates for online safety and cyber hygiene.
