AN EVALUATION OF EUROPEAN UNION MEDIA LITERACY POLICIES AND LEGISLATION

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the media literacy policies and legislation of the EU and to investigate the tendencies of the European Union in this field. In the study, a documentary scanning was conducted and primary sources were utilized. Some of the results reached in the study as follows: Since 2007, the EU has taken legal measures to monitor the development of Member States on media literacy and to promote good practices in this regard. In 2018, with the amendment made to the Audio-Visual Media Services Directive, video-sharing sites, as well as traditional media, were given responsibility regarding media literacy. In recent years, the European Union has been leaning towards efforts aimed at combating disinformation, especially within the scope of media literacy.
