Who we are
Meet the members of the Media Literacy Council.
Last updated 21 April 2026
The MLC comprises members from the people, private, and public sectors. It provides expert advice and thought leadership on issues pertaining to digital literacy and wellness and its emerging areas. With community partners, it also co-develops digital literacy and wellness resources and supports initiatives under the Digital for Life movement.
In today’s digital and social media landscape, the Council seeks to address problems such as online safety, discernment of online falsehoods, cyber bullying and other uncivil online behaviours. Its role is to cultivate digital users' critical-thinking skills and refine their understanding of the issues in the online world so as to empower them to be safe, smart, and kind online.
Our members
Our members come from the people, private and public (3P) sectors and are appointed by the Minister (Ministry of Digital Development and Information) to serve a two year term on a voluntary basis. The Council is supported by a Secretariat team from the Info-communications Media Development Authority.
