The aim of the article is to link the attributes of Generation Alpha with strategies for improving their media and digital competences within formal and home education and conducting scientific research on the title issue. Elements of collaborative anthropology and anthropology of everyday life were used for this purpose. The results of existing and own research presented in the article concern current and future strategies for using various types of media by new generations, also in relation to media using linguistic discourse. The findings made in the article are also important for book publishers and the press market. In relation to the challenges of contemporary media civilization, new strategies for establishing communication with this generation are desirable, which will be, on the one hand, compatible with their needs, possibilities and expectations, and on the other hand - consistent with the assumptions of (media) education 4.0.
