Media and information literacy as a public policy in Ecuador

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the integration of media and information literacy (MIL) in Ecuador’s public policies, using the IGO model to prioritize strategic actions. The research, carried out in collaboration with several entities, highlights the need to incorporate AMI in the national curriculum and to train citizens in media consumption and production. It concludes that a public policy of digital transformation based on MIL is key to improve the credibility of digital content and close the digital divide.
