Abstract

This article examines the development of media literacy and ethical thinking through a socio-philosophical lens. It argues that media literacy is not merely a technical ability to access and use digital platforms, but a value-oriented capacity to interpret information, evaluate credibility, recognize manipulation, and communicate responsibly. The study conceptualizes ethical thinking as the normative foundation that transforms media competence into civic agency. By integrating critical analysis, axiological reflection, discourse interpretation, and comparative inquiry, the article identifies the conditions under which media literacy can strengthen public deliberation, protect human dignity, and support responsible participation in the digital public sphere.
