  • mediation of information in all languages

10. The new communication technologies require media competency as a new key qualification

Media competency can be defined as an ability
  • to be familiar with the media and be able to gain new qualifications independently at any time
  • to orient oneself in the media world in a confident and responsible way
  • to perceive, process and understand media contents, to assess them appropriately and eventually intervene in the media process (Source: Forum Info 2000, AG4, 1998, p.10)
