Abstract

Today, mass media culture has a significant impact on young people, with a constant barrage of negative information. The education of media literacy for adolescents is urgently needed. Canada is one of the countries where youth media literacy education has been more successful, having established a complete educational structure system through schools, social organizations, governments, and families, characterized by rich implementation subjects, reasonable curriculum settings, and emphasis on practical abilities. The youth media literacy education in our country should draw on Canada's experience, starting with raising public awareness of media literacy education, and improve the practical ability of youth media literacy through the efforts of government and social group forces.
