Overview

Media Engagement, Literacy, and Dialogue among European Youth explores young people’s participation in digital media spaces, drawing on participatory research methods to reflect with youth on how digital media is interwoven into their daily lives. Focusing on young people’s understandings of political and cultural exchanges, and what responses and actions they initiate, the book offers insight into their public engagement, digital media ethics, and an understanding of what capacities and challenges affect cultural dialogue and political participation. The chapters centre around case studies from Norway, Austria, and Germany, asking how young people use participatory media formats to display media literacy in relation to diversity, activism, and cultural dialogue. The chapters also include recommendations they have for building media literacy that advances engagement, creativity, and inclusiveness among youth. This book is intended for use in graduate courses, by doctoral students and the established research community and is freely available online on taylorandfrancis.com.
