Media literacy is a concept that describes the skills and capabilities needed to advance with autonomy and awareness, in the digital communication space, and the multifunctional multimedia news media.

In this regard, using Qi's methodology, he sought the extraction of important mental patterns derived from selected indicators from the experts and activists in the field of communications science and political sciences. On this basis, after studying the subject literature and interviewing several of the experts, Nune Kyu was selected. The results of the categorization showed that finally, 46 items covered the discourse space, which were examined on a sample of 26 people using the optional Qi distribution chart. QW's analysis showed that three subjective patterns can be identified, which in total explained about 85% of the variance. The importance and prioritization of these patterns can be used to promote the goals of media literacy aimed at media literacy practitioners and policymakers in the field of foreign policy.
