Summary/Abstract: The author of the article begins with an analysis of the journalism classes in high schools. Such classes are very popular due to the students’ choices and parents’ preferences. He also discusses the usage of new media technologies in teaching. He claims that concentrating on media or information literacy which is evolving due to the usage of new multimedia technologies is nowadays one of the most important challenges for educators. The author concludes his considerations with a statement: ‘I would say that the best media education in the future will be one in which it will not exist. It means that the whole system of education would define media education as a set of skills, knowledge and practices essential for all types of human activity in the 21st century. It would result in media education being a main element in the creation of a new school in a postmodern world’.
