Abstract: 

  Communication tools change with each passing day, so the most important issue in our future education is how to let students have the ability to analyze rather than absorb information from media overall. In fact, this is the reason why media literacy education becomes more important than before. What's more, media has a huge influence on civil society. To be more specific, if audiences don't realize that information from media is packaged, it is not easy to establish an autonomous civic consciousness. That is to say, citizens without civic consciousness would be manipulated easily instead of being the citizens of self-realization. Therefore, how to fulfill media literacy education in civic education is the key to putting the fundamental right to education into practice. But no matter nine-year integrated curriculum in elementary and secondary school or the course guideline of civics and society in senior high school media literacy education is a flash in the pan. So the purpose of this article is to review the implementation of media literacy education in our nation's civic education.
