New White Paper on Media & Information Literacy by EKOME

EKOME, the new National Centre of Audiovisual Media & Communication in Greece, has launched its first policy paper, the White Paper on Media & Information Literacy. This paper represents EKOME’s viewpoint on its third pillar, Education, in order to set out a paradigm for a national infrastructure on media and information literacy. The paper was part of a series of awareness actions run by EKOME during the Global UNESCO Media and Information Literacy Week (25-31 October 2018). It presents an overview of the key definitional aspects of media literacy and further highlights the main priorities in the field, in order to contribute to a national strategic plan and build a constructive relationship with the creative industry. EKOME was founded by Law 4339/2015 of the Ministry of Digital Policy, Telecoms and the Media and is the new public entity in Greece for media and information literacy.
