Throughout the history, effective citizenship has required functional literacy skills as the fundamental factor for attending societal life. In the past, the 3Rs (writing, reading, and arithmetic) were considered to be enough for a normal citizen because people could communicate satisfactorily based on these skills in public spheres. They could also benefit through traditional literacy skills from the mainstream communication channels like newspaper, radio, and television. Depending on the linear characteristic of the mass media, participation of citizens was limited in the social arena. However, new communication technologies have changed the nature and scope of citizenship. New kinds of literacies have emerged regarding the new media such as Internet, Web, Twitter, blogs, YouTube, Facebook, mobile technologies and so forth.  \nToday’s citizens are expected to attend social processes anytime and anywhere. Thus, they are required to have mastery in new literacies which allow them to use all kinds of emerging technologies to share their views and make their voices heard. In fact, this comes as a requisite for real democracy because digital citizenship is largely based on contemporary literacy skills in which the technology plays an important role. This paper elaborates various kinds of new literacies and discusses their relationships with the current practices of digital citizenship from a technological perspective.  \nKeywords: New literacies; Digital citizenship; Media literacy; ICT skills; Effective citizenship;  \nWeb 2.0; Social networks  \nIntroduction  \nThe meaning of citizenship has usually been associated with the power of individuals in the process of social decision-making. Social decision making has always required appropriate skills both for accessing to information and processing the obtained information since the ancient ages. In the digital age of the current times, the forms of information have changed drastically. Considering the potential of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs), skills such as reaching, interpreting, understanding, reconstructing, and sharing information have become fundamental responsibilities of citizens for a democratic society (Aufderheide, 1993; Christ & Potter, 1998) .  \nNowadays everything is changing quickly and people feel obligated to keep pace with these changes. Why Drucker called the changes as “shock” should be questioned in this perspective. Information is an integral part of daily life in today’s society in order for individuals to survive  \nagainst information-related requirements. Production of knowledge requires different skills than those necessary for producing goods. Thus, the concept of shock could be interpreted partly as the feelings or the confusions of people, being aware of not having necessary skills for the new literacies.  \nKress (2010, p.6) remarked that the communication practices transformed from reading and writing to designing and distributing. The content is often being displayed with multimodality, combining text, image, motion, sound, music etc. Nowadays computer screens substitute book pages of the past so that image has gained popularity instead of text. Consistent with this trend in the ICT field, social relations and structures of the authority have changed at a great extent.  \nThe attitudes towards information have also changed. People became addicted to information. Readers, as the audience, have become digital users. Information processing has been transformed from being passive receivers to active information processors, who must engage, construct, respond, and act with information. These new skills have changed the form of information flow in such a way to have greater","cbCaieicCseUN4gT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieicCseUN4gT","pdf",457937,12,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Theories of Technology and New Literacies","[{\"question\":\"Why have traditional literacy skills been considered insufficient for citizenship today?\",\"answer\":\"In the past, the 3Rs supported communication through mainstream media like newspapers, radio, and television.
