Abstract
-
The article Critical Media Literacy: Research, Theory, and Practice in “New Times” by examines the concept of **critical media literacy** in contemporary digital and popular culture. It reviews existing research and theoretical perspectives to explain how media literacy helps students analyze media messages, question power relations, and understand how audiences are positioned by media texts. The authors argue that young people actively engage with media and popular culture rather than consuming it passively. The article emphasizes integrating critical media literacy into education so learners can critically interpret media, challenge dominant ideologies, and participate more thoughtfully in a rapidly evolving media environment.
