Students' media literacy concerning the development of meta-subject connections as a key segment of new didactics is highly relevant in the context of solving the problem of enriching the content of educational policy in modern Russia. Today, the transformational processes taking place in the society bring up the problem under study to the "rank" of particular importance. In this regard, drawing active attention of the educational theorists and practitioners to the new understanding of the "media literacy" concept in the transforming realities of the new millennium is very important today. The authors' reflections on the topic of the formation of media literacy in regard to the content of the development of meta-subject connections are determined by the urgent need to disclose the semantic content of concepts, to identify integrative components and the significance of the formation process itself in the modern educational paradigm to create a holistic picture and approach of the studied content. The social, economic, informational, cultural context in correlation with the national and global peculiarities has a significant impact at the present stage.
The authors conclude that at the present stage, socio-economic, information-technological, utilitarian-pragmatic, cultural-historical contexts in their close connection with the national and global specifics have a decisive influence. In addition, the authors are convinced that the development of educational clusters that include integrative components of the phenomenon of functional literacy (information, communication, social, reading, global competencies) is an important factor of the reconstruction of the education structure, many-faceted facilitation of the educational context. Besides, media literacy is one of the key characteristics of global competencies. It seems that information and media literacy as an integrative component of functional literacy is an important quality of a modern person in an information society; media competence as a quality of a person is becoming an essential condition for successful functioning in the modern society.
