Abstract

In an era of accelerating development of artificial intelligence and intensifying negative effects of the media on children and adolescents, media literacy education tailored to the new challenges is becoming increasingly important. This article aims to answer the question of how state institutions in Poland carry out the task of media education, particularly aimed at children and adolescents. The goal will be achieved by analyzing the educational policy of state institutions – that is, the minister responsible for education in Poland and the National Broadcasting Council. The authors will also briefly refer to the activities of non-governmental organizations involved in media literacy. The issues discussed in the article were developed based on the analysis of documents, legal acts and literature on the subject. First, the role of the Ministry in charge of education issues is outlined (depending on the historical period, it had different names and responsibilities) and the conclusions of the analysis of legal documents regulating media education of students and teachers are presented. Next, the role of the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) in media education was outlined. In the next step, the NGOs’ activities and selected media education projects were discussed. Finally, the conclusions of the collected analysis and the revised purpose of the article were summarized.
