Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of media education in shaping digital culture among young people in the context of the global information society. The study examines philosophical, pedagogical, and socio-cultural dimensions of youth digital culture formation, emphasizing the impact of digital media, online communication, and information technologies on value orientations, identity, and behavioral patterns. Media education is conceptualized as a strategic mechanism for developing digital literacy, critical thinking, ethical responsibility, and cultural awareness. The article argues that systematic integration of media education into educational institutions is essential for fostering a sustainable and human-centered digital culture among youth.
