The development of media literacy in Poland is closely related to the sociopolitical changes taking place in this country. During the communist regime, the activities related to media literacy were limited to the educational role of television and treatment of media as tools for optimizing knowledge in the teaching process. With the fall of communism in 1989 and the ensuing reforms of the state, different milieus (academics, teachers, social activists, government officials) began increasingly to perceive the need for media literacy, but the lack of appropriate legal regulations prevented the creation of a coherent policy. Only after Poland's accession to the EU and financial support, media literacy gained momentum and took the form of cross‐sectoral activity.
