The aim of the current research was to explain the position of media in the document of the fundamental transformation of education in order to extract the themes of media education with focus on the reflections of Jean-Francois Lyotard and Jean Baudrillard as the two prominent postmodernists. Considering the challenges of modern media, postmodernism deals with the critical reading of modern enlightened imperialism in general and modern media in particular. The research paradigm was qualitative, documentary data collection method was used and data analysis method was thematic analysis. Findings showed the importance of the transformation document's attention to the educational media and media education. Paying attention to the pivotal position of the media, educational coordination and participation and purposeful production in the intra-organizational domain, access and utilization, and active exposure to the new media in the extra-organizational domain of education are among the presented strategies. In the next step, Lyotard and Baudrillard's views were divided into constructive and destructive categories based on the components of the first step, and the amount and type of access. Epistemic relativism, familiarity with persuasion techniques, advertising techniques and critical approach to media messages were brought up in the active confrontation. Finally, in term of purposeful production, cultural pluralism and acceptance of differences, internal dynamism and conformity with society's needs were taken into consideration. Findings showed that it is possible and necessary to apply the themes of postmodern thinkers in line with the media education, in accordance with the criteria of the fundamental transformation document.
