Modern mass media play a key role in shaping the picture of the human world and largely control the dissemination of information that affects our perceptions, attitudes, and ultimately our behavior. This means that other people always influence the behavior of any person. Information can be both positive and negative. Thus, the requirements set by society for preparing a person for a full-fledged orientation in an increasing flow of information and the insufficient theoretical and practical development of this issue indicate the relevance of the research problem. Media education is a hot topic today not only in Turkey and in the Republic of Moldova, but all over the world. The issues of media education in both countries are currently being discussed among scientists, teachers, non-governmental organizations, in general, people advanced in the field of new technologies. Everyone understands that this is necessary, but so far society has not paid much attention to these issues. The article is devoted to the main trends in the development of the media education movement in Turkey and the Republic of Moldova.
