Heta Mulari (ed.)
Abstract
In public debate, children’s and young people’s media cultures are often addressed through a binary perspective of hopes and fears. On the one hand, their digital media competences are celebrated, while on the other hand we witness concerns over media-related changes in children’s and young people’s everyday lives. This selection of articles examines the media cultures of children and young people. How are media images, devices and uses woven into children’s and young people’s everyday lives? What types of questions and methods can be used to approach the theme in a research-based way, together with children and young people?
