The shift to the digital media era is increasing the importance of the ability to accept, produce and share news through digital media(news literacy), but there is a lack of diagnosis of the level of news literacy among Korean adults and discussions on how to improve news literacy. This study analyzed the news literacy level of Korean adults according to background variables (urbanization degree, gender, age, academic background) and examined the relationship between the amount of news literacy-related practices and the level of news literacy. The results showed that the overall level of news literacy among adults in Korea was not high and that differences between groups were also statistically significant. The significant relevance between the amount of news literacy-related practices and the level of news literacy has also been identified. Based on the findings, it was suggested that the need for policy support to improve news literacy among Korean adults, the need to prioritize the resources of news literacy education according to background variables of adult learners, and the need to continuously monitor news literacy levels of Korean adults.

For this purpose, 12 kinds = types of learning materials for middle school 'Technology·Home Economics 2' textbooks were analyzed. After selecting 'Media Literacy Performance Goals(MLPG)' as the basis for analysis, the distribution of media data and reflection of MLPG were analyzed by frequency and content analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, 39.6% of the learning materials using media materials out of the total learning materials of 12 textbooks, and there were differences in the frequency and weight of learning materials using media materials by publishers. Depending on the type of media, 68.3% of 'printing', 16.7% of 'images, video', 13.5% of 'digital', and 86.5% of the use of unidirectional media. Second, there was a difference in frequency and weight of learning materials reflecting the MLPG by publishers, and it was necessary to supplement the learning content to improve overall media literacy. Among the MLPG reflected in the learning materials, 'meaning and communication' was the most reflected performance goal, with 58.8%, but there was no two-way communication through the media. Based on the results of these textbook analysis, MLPG in Home Economics are revised as follows.

The purpose of this study is to obtain basic information and implications for developing media information literacy curriculum by comparing and analyzing UNESCO's media and information literacy competencies and AASL's key competencies with the 2015 Revised Curriculum and the Library and Information Life curriculum. As a result of the analysis, First, UNESCO's MIL and AASL's key competencies in media information literacy were related to the competencies of the 2015 Revised Curriculum. Second, UNESCO's MIL included more aspects of the composition and competencies of information literacy than media literacy. For this reason, it could be said that media information literacy more appropriately reflects the content pursued by media literacy education than media literacy. Third, UNESCO's MIL included more training content for media literacy than information literacy. Fourth, the contents of media literacy were found to be insufficient in the Library and Information Life curriculum compared to the education contents of library and information literacy. Fifth, the competency standards related to media information literacy and Libraries and Information Life did not present cultural sensitivity competency. Based on the results of the study, It is necessary to develop a media information literacy curriculum that fuses the contents of media literacy beyond the information literacy that use library resources.

The goal of this study is to explore and draw implicaitons from international and domestic media and information literacy (MIL) policies and educational systems. To this end, international policy documents issued by UNESCO, IFLA, OECD, and the EU as well as domestic South Korean laws and policies related to MIL and the fuctions of public libraries and related institutions were analyzed. The findings show that international organizations recognize public libraries as institutions that are responsible for providing information access and supporting knowledge sharing for citizens within and outside of formal education systems. Additionally, public libraries are seen as institutions responsible for supporting lifelong learning and civic education, as well as improving media, information, and digital literacy skills of their communities. In South Korea, the Library Act gives public libraries and librarians responsibility for improving citizens' MIL to support the public's right to know and to narrow the information gap. However, the functions of public libraries and librarians in South Korea have been limited or excluded in the domestic MIL policies. This study concludes that public libraries and librarians are responsible for reducing the information gap among citizens and should actively participate in policy development to improve citizens' MIL skills.
