Abstract: This paper, grounded in the need for critical theory for a better comprehension of the social world, engages with the concept of critical media literacy as an example for a combination of distance and involvement. Motivated by mediatic hopes, audience, media scholars and media professionals can appeal to critical media literacy to go beyond the barriers of conservatism, intolerance and consumerism.
