Media Literacy; Representations; Fake News; Vlogs.Abstract
This paper explores the intricate connection between media and citizenship, particularly focusing on the younger generation's deep involvement with digital media platforms.

The paper highlights the limitations of traditional media literacy approaches in addressing contemporary media issues and suggests new strategies to enhance media literacy among young people.
