Summary/Abstract: University in Rome – that aimed to measure the media literacy level of the Romanian high school students – showed that less than one-third of the survey participants have acceptable knowledge regarding the media, from the point of view of the active participation in the democratic process of their social reality. As a consequence, in order to increase the media literacy level among youth and adults, it is necessary to introduce a formal media education program in the school system. The first part of the article speaks about the need of teaching about media in schools and indicates some methods on how that can be achieved.
