In fact, your questions are at the very heart of the different debates
that many Media Literacy researchers are developing in several
countries and even continents, since there are different major
concepts, tendences and approaches to deal with when coping with the
nature of those questions.
Nevertheless, and in spite of the differences, there are some common
dimensions, and some of the most important rely on the 3 Cs principle,
that is, any representation of Media Literacy state has to be
structured around Cultural, Critical and Creative dimensions, since
those represent the real possibilities of expression and intervention
for both media senders and receivers in this new media brave world.
Some of the debates I mentioned are being developed by the Euromeduc
project in an attempt to move away «from ICT multimiracle landscapes
to Media Literacy reality shows» as I tried to put it in an earlier
post about Digital Youth and Media Appropriations (Rewind):
