Abstract

The study assesses new media literacy (NML) skills of university students using Henry Jenkins et al.’s participatory culture framework. It measured media use patterns of students and 12 core NML skills related to participation, interaction, and content creation. The study shows that greater internet and social media use and younger age are associated with higher levels of new media literacy.
