Abstract

The media plays an important role in shaping scientific literacy and increasing public trust in science and technology, preparing future generations for a rapidly evolving technological world. The next generation should be trained not for today’s jobs but for tomorrow’s jobs. It is up to each society to support the future workforce’s education. At the same time, it is up to the skill of educators to choose active and interactive teaching methods and techniques that keep students’ attention in an environment that stimulates them to use technology, developing their creativity and capacity for innovation. Given the features of future professions, which are increasingly based on modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, robots, big data, the Internet of Things, and others, the media has a moral obligation and an ethical commitment to promote the latest scientific discoveries and cutting-edge technologies. Through the prism of journalistic responsibility, mass media should provide accurate information in an accessible way without misleading the public. This chapter aims to analyze the role of STEM education in training future generations of citizens. It presents how mass media can help STEM education reach the public. This discussion is important because STEM education leads to valuable technical skills and develops a system of thinking through which to approach any problem from multiple points of view, leaving no room for interpretation and error. On the shoulders of today’s educators lies the responsibility of forming technical skills in tomorrow’s generations so that humanity can progress in a correct, pacifist, and sustainable direction and in which to enjoy the benefits of technology. By promoting scientific and technological progress, the media can inspire new generations to focus on careers in high-difficulty STEM fields.
