In the scope
of the Infrastructure Programme of the Faculty of Media – collecting,
management and archiving of media literacy data – data from different groups
(the entire population and various vulnerable groups in Slovenia) was
collected. The research was supplemented by examining the general level of
media literacy in Slovenia. In this way, the authors furthermore tried to
promote methodological and conceptual research of the field in Slovenia. Due to
the trend of increasing exposure and rapid progress of technology, is not yet
possible to predict actual long-term effects of exposure to different modern
media, therefore the research of the current state of media habits is of great
importance. In data collection, the focus was on media exposure, critical
thinking, news monitoring and suggestions for improving the situation. The
questionnaire was based on research experience of media literacy in 2014. There
is very little data collected in this field of study, consequently, such data
is very important for the research, various studies and publications by
researchers in various fields.
