MEDIA LITERACY IN REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

Abstract

The reason I will explore this topic is the problem that young people have when reading the news and receiving information from the media. They receive a large amount of information every day and are often in a situation where they do not know how to distinguish between true and false news. The importance of this problem is related to the fact that this society should have a media-literate youth who will know how to distinguish different types of information and who will know how to think critically and independently. Within the framework of the thesis, I will try to give an explanation of the concept of media literacy, media and information in Republic of North Macedonia, about legal regulations, regulatory bodies, as well as about the connection of young people with media literacy.
