Summary/Abstract: Media literacy is one of the most important competences in the 21st century. It is not only the requirement for appropriate access to information and media content, but also the condition for their correct reception (understanding) and participation in cultural, civic and social spheres. For this reason, diagnosis and survey of media literacy is one of the most important subjects of contemporary scientific discussion. This article discusses key problems faced by researchers planning to measure media literacy, such as: the choice of the correct model of literacy (along with the specification of detailed components, levels etc.), the selection of the supervisory institution and methods, as well as the construction of a measurement tool. These problems are also examined in the context of Polish proposals dealing with this issue.
