Abstract
An analysis of scholarly publications by international authors and programs of recent international research and practice conferences reveals current trends in media education worldwide, especially in the United States. These include, first, the intensified use of the Internet in media education and, second, the involvement of media agencies such as the periodical press and public television. The experience of colleagues in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom demonstrates the need to include media education in the curriculum of the contemporary secondary school.
