Considering the developments observed in new communication technologies in recent years, both traditional media and new media are at the center of our lives. Especially with the increasing use of new media, content creation has become easier. It is not always known who created a content for what purpose and whether it was reliable. Therefore, it is important that readers, viewers or users can objectively and critically evaluate unlimited images, views and writings presented by the media. In this framework, media literacy education can serve the purpose. The only way to make these assessments is through media literacy education. The aim of this descriptive study is to examine main understandings and practices of media literacy, which is needed more with increase in digitilization today , and to emphasize the issues that should be included by the media literacy program in order to achieve the goal of media literacy education.
