The European Commission (EC) adopted a Communication on a European approach to media literacy in the digital environment on December 20th, 2007. The Communication plays an integral role in the EC’s aim to enhance citizens’ trust in, and take-up of, content online. Mrs. Viviane Reding, Commissioner for Information Society and Media, sees media literacy as essential for active media and democracy. The new information and communication technologies require all to develop new skills, as traditional literacy is no longer enough.
