Abstract: Abstract Since the middle of 1970s, the concept of media literacy has been actively developing in the various disciplinary approaches. At the same time, there is still a shortage of comparative study of media literacy at country level. The chapter provides results of the cross-country studies, conducted in 2019 and 2021 in the Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan). The authors highlight the main communicative practices and сharacteristics of media literacy level of the countries’ population. The article presents the methodology for measuring media literacy, including two models of the media literacy index, that has shown its consistency for cross-country research. Special attention is drawn to the social and economic differences of the countries, that may influence the media literacy level.
