Looking at Electracy, there are many common themes. I do find it hard to even say electracy and I have never heard the term before. Searching for information on this I would look for information literacy and/or media literacy. 142.22.54.34 ( talk) 19:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
There is much in the concept of electracy that is significant and beyond the categories of "information" or "media" literacy. The whole purpose is to have a term that does not include "literacy" (i.e. "littera" -- letter) as a way of defining the shift from literacy to the emergent digital era. As the inventor of the term Greg Ulmer writes, "The nice thing about having such a term is not only the efficiency, but the categorical effect it produces. For one thing, it helps us see the difference between "media literacy" (whose goal is to protect from or defend against electracy by means of forms and practices specific to the previous apparatus; the equivalent for an oral person calling literacy "alphabetic orality"). It also is generative in that, knowing by analogy with literacy that digital technological shift is just one part of an apparatus, we may notice that the other parts of the apparatus shift are also well under way -- for example that a new institution has emerged within which is being invented the set of practices that will be to electracy what schooling and all that goes with it are to literacy. This institution is Entertainment" (see Toward Electracy: A Conversation with Greg Ulmer). I suggest adding a paragraph to this entry with a link to the new term "electracy" as a way of resolving the issue. rsmyth 11:04, 27 April 2008 (EST)

Sigh. We have four articles with pretty much identical scope, as seen by the names. Three of them have been written as independent student projects. While to some degree this is simply a result of the mess in academia itself (different scholars prefer different terms, some consider them synonymous, a few argue there is some minor distinction), I think we should merge all those articles together, and if any scholars do argue they are not the same, we can provide their viewpoints. But for most scholars, and certainly, most readers, the distinction is IMHO pretty much non-existent. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:18, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
I can see how Information literacy and information literacies would be combined. Would you consider media literacy as a heading in that combined article? Amethystloucks ( talk) 00:31, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose the merger of Information literacy and Media literacy. They have different origins, histories, academic communities, and focuses. Libcub ( talk) 01:55, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@Piotrus, As I mentioned above, I do not think that these articles should be merged. Media literacy has become essential to fight disinformation in the age of social media. For example, The European Union writes "media literacy has never been as important as it is today. It enables citizens of all ages to navigate the modern news environment and take informed decisions." See "Media literacy in the European Union." Therefore, I think the articles should remain independent --MexFin (talk) 13:22, 1 November 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MexFin ( talk • contribs)
