Abstract
In this information-saturated world, people are thriving to cope with seemingly overload streams of information and images. The digital advancements alter and extend our means of communication abilities, information access, and spatial formations. Hence, a new literacy is needed to wield this new digital world. In this regard, the current conceptual paper attempts to explore the nexus of media literacy and geography education in coping with the digital era. The paper reviews the literature on geographic media literacy by describing the essential elements of the relevant literacy coined by Lukinbeal (2008). The paper goes on to discuss the three factors that play a prominent role in geographic media literacy. Finally, this paper recalls the importance of geographic media literacy and how it can contribute to the development of geography education in the Indonesian Setting.
