Recently, the media environment has transformed considerably; instead of "mass media," formation of public opinion is now influenced by "social media." Thus, we must consider instituting new media literacy education to correspond with the new media environment. From our perspective, the most important feature of any media literacy education should be its ethical aspects. First, we considered how ethical aspects are positioned in the discussion of media literacy and found the term "practical moral knowledge" to be worth our attention. Next, to apply practical moral knowledge to new media literacy, we investigated Our Space, finding it necessary to focus on the ethical strategies we use in our everyday lives-both online and offline. From the results, we concluded that introducing new media literacy is important for shifting the existing paradigm within Japanese language education.
