ABSTRACT
In this poster, a model of digital policy literacy is described. The model is designed to serve as an intervention expanding the core elements of media and digital literacy to encompass digital policy as a key literacy attribute. It has been created as a key element of a program of research that examines how young people engage in participatory digital culture, and their knowledge of specific digital policy issues, such as copyright and privacy.
