Relevance of the Frankfurt Triangle for Critical Media Literacy and Digital Citizenship

The paper examines the ambivalence of digital capitalism, contrasting the economic dominance of big tech giants with the promise of diverse digital literacy experiences. Using digital citizenship education as a case study, the paper introduces the Frankfurt Triangle model, a framework that encourages a multi-perspective approach to the phenomena of digitality. This model broadens traditional technological perspectives by incorporating cultural, societal, and interactional aspects, aiming to address the lack of media-cultural, societal, and usage-related perspectives in educational discourses on digitality.
