Abstract: The paper discusses media education and the (re)production of culture, critically analysing the social production of knowledge through mass media and proclaiming the need for a pedagogy that criticizes its limitations, distortions, and biases. Presenting an important project of the University {\it Politehnica} of Bucharest the importance is stressed of building bridges across disciplines, using theory to connect media education with the empowerment of students and the promotion of democracy. The paper calls for contextualizing education within the framework of its functions in society. The author addresses the issue of promoting multiculturalism and media literacy on a University level. It is emphasized the fact that we live in a world of media and new technologies, and our social world is increasingly multicultural, providing new opportunities to enjoy richness and diversity, but also producing new social conflicts and problems.
