Promoting media literacy is a key to ensure that Australians are equipped with tools to make informed choices about media and communications services and to enable people to participate effectively in the digital economy.
What is digital media literacy?
Digital media literacy is often understood as the ability to access, understand and participate or create content using digital media.
Developments in digital technology have had significant effects on the way individuals interact with communications and media services. An increasingly wide range of sources of information, ways of doing business, services (including government services) and entertainment are now commonly made available and accessed online and/or through digital media.
