Abstract
-
With the advent of digital technologies, awareness of media is acquiring crucial
importance. Media literacy, information literacy and digital literacy are the three most
prevailing concepts that focus on a critical approach towards media messages. This article
gives an overview of the nature of these literacies, which show both similarities to and
differences from each other. The various contexts of their functioning are outlined and
additional literacies are mentioned. Especial attention is given to the question of the
blurring line between media consumers and producers.
