The article analyzes the media consumption and media literacy of Uzbek youth based on the results of an empirical survey conducted using a questionnaire. The sources of information of young people were checked, their connection with the media, the ability to work with information and extract facts in the form of text, video, photos, critical thinking skills. According to a survey of 7,827 respondents, the results of previous surveys in this area differ. This indicates that the forms and methods of media consumption of the audience are changing. The opportunities for Uzbek youth to access the digital world are expanding, and they are actively using the media, especially the Internet. The level of media literacy for checking information is medium, with a low level of information creation. Young people do not have a deep understanding of the manipulative, commercial impact of information. While there has been progress in the consumption of digital media products, there has been a hierarchical regression in traditional media. The youth of Uzbekistan widely uses the media, has an idea of the need to regulate media consumption, the formation of media literacy. There is still no complete and complete understanding of the components of media literacy. The results of the study can be used in the development of the information policy of Uzbekistan, the introduction of media education, the integration of media education tools with other disciplines, and the creation of an information portrait of the youth audience.
