Summary/Abstract: In today’s world of information and communication technology, the Generation Z, also known as digital natives, has found itself. In 2021, 95% of young people in the EU used the internet daily (Eurostat, 2022). To navigate the overwhelming amount of information, teenagers need to demonstrate media literacy. The progress of media and technology requires an increasing number of digital skills, and media literacy has taken on many forms and shapes in recent years. In this context, this literature review focuses on the transition from media literacy of the 1990s (Aufderheide, 1993) to the new, digital media literacy. Our primary results indicate that new media literacy is a cornerstone in the ongoing development and education of young people.
