Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with conceptual and content aspects connected with reflections on media education in the Czech educational system from the 1990s to the present. The first part of the study is focused on the description of conceptual steps in the Czech educational and academic discourse of the 1990s in the area of media education. Furthermore, attention is paid to the analysis of initial reflections on topics and areas associated with the use of new media. We also reflect on political events that have significantly changed the view of the importance and need for media education. The study concludes with reflections on the concept and thematic areas for the implementation of media education in the context of contemporary “life in the media”.
