The relationship between media education and politics has been little discussed in recent years. This volume demonstrates the relevance of this issue and presents the current state of the discussion. Theoretically, it questions hypotheses regarding the connection between political, media, and educational logics. Against this background, the role of media education is redefined in light of the intertwining of politics and media, taking into account the possibilities and opportunities for creating alternative public spheres through traditional media and new information and communication technologies.
