Abstract
In today’s hypermediated world, media literacies are vital for navigating digital complexities marked by algorithmic curation, misinformation, and fragmented information ecosystems. This study investigates how evolving media literacies can address contemporary challenges—such as algorithmic bias, misinformation, and digital inequity—by fostering critical engagement and democratic participation in hypermediated societies. Drawing on interdisciplinary frameworks and qualitative case studies from diverse geopolitical contexts, the analysis highlights pedagogical innovations, policy interventions, and grassroots initiatives that reimagine media literacy education to prioritize ethical reasoning, participatory practices, and transnational collaboration. The findings underscore the urgency of coalitional praxis among educators, policymakers, and technologists to co-create literacies that dismantle structural inequalities, cultivate inclusive digital citizenship, and empower individuals to navigate polarized media landscapes.
