Annotation: In our increasingly connected world, it is nearly impossible to go a full day without using or experiencing some type of media. Imagine a day without reading (email, blogs, billboards, books, magazines), listening to recorded music (radio, streaming), watching recorded video (TV, DVD, streaming), or playing a video game (handheld, console, internet). Screens are increasingly common in all sorts of restaurants and large retailers. The use of most cell phones requires at least a basic level of media literacy: identifying the correct icon in order to open the desired app or function. “Media awareness and awareness of the content these produce is paramount today, and not only where young people are concerned. It thrills me to see how many young people nowadays show such deep social and societal commitment to creating content of value”, Deputy Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev said, speaking to the crowd on behalf of Minister Zaharieva.
