Despite the fact that media education scarcely appears reflected in school curricula all over the world, it
is becoming more necessary in our societies. As Vallet stated decades ago, communication is the air we
breathe; and it is therefore essential to train and educate the new generations to understand the new
languages and its new active and recreational learning processes, codes and discourses to be implemented by
the educative authorities in each country.
Media education should be also approached from other perspectives. The role of families as main educators
and the media itself have a decisive edu-communicative influence on the children, as well as
civil society and the citizenship in democratic societies. The citizenship should take part in associations
and organizations with the aim to build a responsible and critic society in which the power of the media
is increasingly pervasive.
