"Academic research on migration and the use of new media constitutes a growing field. The first studies dealing explicitly with the field appeared in the end of the 1990s.

hed. Appropriation of ICTs and new media environments have become a ubiquitous feature of everyday life in migrant groups. The research area is still understudied, characterized by rapid changes and shifts, and is shaped by the changing structural conditions of migrants and the proliferation of forms of media. In this article, I provide an overview of the developing research area through a review of the existing literature on migration and the use of new media. I elaborate the various aspects of the research field, the research category, current themes and topics, theoretical and conceptual discussions, and methodological approaches." (Abstract)

"Jugendliche informieren sich heute primär digital. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass sie bei der Nutzung von digitalen Medien in der Lage sind, Nachrichten und Informationsquellen richtig einzuordnen und wahre von falschen Meldungen zu unterscheiden. Dieses Buch gibt kompetent Auskunft zum Thema. Google

, YouTube und andere Suchmaschinen und Soziale Netzwerke gehören heute ganz selbstverständlich zu unserem Alltag. Man kann sich rund um die Uhr informieren, sich mit seinen Freunden austauschen und eigene Fotos, Erlebnisse und Ideen posten. Bei der Informationsrecherche im Netz sind seriöse Angebote aber oft schwer zu unterscheiden von Werbung, manipulierten oder falschen Beiträgen. Quelle und Herkunft sind oft nicht ausfindig zu machen. Um sich nicht in den Filterblasen von Suchmaschinen und sozialen Netzwerken zu verlieren und nicht auf Fake News, gefakte Profile oder andere Manipulationen hereinzufallen, ist es wichtig, verschiedene Informationsquellen zu nutzen und sich eine eigene, unabhängige Meinung zu bilden. Dieses Buch gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in die vielfältige Welt der Medien und vermittelt Tipps und Hilfestellungen zum richtigen Umgang mit ihnen." (Verlagsbeschreibung Loewe Verlag)

"CFI est l’agence française de développement médias. CFI inscrit au cœur de son action la jeunesse, le numérique avec ses nouveaux canaux de diffusion, ainsi que l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, principes qu’elle s’attache à transcrire au travers de ces différents programme
...
s. Si la question de l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes est prise en compte par l’agence depuis 2011, et notamment dans son contrat d’objectifs 2018-2020, elle est amenée à monter en puissance, au regard du rôle fondamental que jouent les médias dans la transmission des valeurs et la représentation des identités. C’est pourquoi CFI s’engage à développer une politique spécifique en la matière. La présente stratégie est une déclinaison de cette volonté, qui lui permet de formaliser son action, d’afficher des objectifs plus précis et plus ambitieux, ainsi que des indicateurs qui faciliteront son suivi et sa mise en œuvre. Par cette stratégie, l’agence se fixe comme objectif de mener une politique ambitieuse et volontariste en matière d’égalité professionnelle entre les femmes et hommes salariés, et de faire du genre une priorité transversale dans la mise en œuvre de ses actions, traduisant ainsi l’ambition portée par la France de promouvoir l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes."

"This study was specfically intended to: 1. provide comprehensive insight into the public’s media consumption patterns, and its underlying causes: a) values; b) needs and interests, particularly regarding media content; c) motivation and aspirations, with specific emphasis on buying media content;

d) financial functioning and attitudes towards different types of payment systems, etc. and 2. provide comprehensive analysis and recommendations to inform the Strengthening Media Systems Activity (SMS) programmatic approach in all aspects of media sustainability, as well as to inform organizational and business strategies and tactics of different types of media outlets on the local, regional and national levels. The research implemented in 2019 combined a variety of methods (both quantitative and qualitative) and techniques (a face-to-face-survey and computer-assisted web interviewing, or CAWI), and targeted a number of groups – a representative sample of 1500 respondents age 15 to 65 for the face-to-face survey, a sample of 100 daily internet users for web interviews, and 96 internet and local media users aged 15 to 65 for the 12 focus group discussions in Belgrade, Niš, Kragujevac, Novi Sad, Sombor, Loznica, and Zajecar. The key aim of the research was to gain an in-depth understanding of the needs, habits, and expectations of the audience, in order to facilitate rational and informed discussion about the media sector and public attitudes; and strategic decision-making by media businesses, with the starting assumption that understanding audience needs and profiling target groups constitutes integral parts of any media business strategy in terms of both preparing and formatting media content. Thus, the study was structured to facilitate the achievement of SMS objectives and to provide directions for SMS strategic and operational interventions in the following areas: 1. Content production and editorial policy, 2. Content sources and formats, 3. Interaction and community involvement, and 4. Financial sustainability." (Abstract, page 2-3)

"The findings of this research show that Syrians, regardless of the party in power in the area in which they reside, have a shared definition of independent media. They define it as “unbiased”, “not favouring any side”, and “credible”. Syrian audiences involved in the research emerge as

astute consumers who expect that the media deliver balanced reporting. In addition, media are expected to play a positive and constructive role in society. According to the Syrians interviewed, this is particularly needed regarding conflict resolution and accountability of the political actors. Moreover, Syrian (both audiences and journalists) express a need not only for crisis-related news, but also stories related to everyday life. Syrian media professionals have a long way to go to fulfil the high expectations Syrians have. From the in-depth interviews it is apparent that currently Syrians are very critical – and even negative – about the role and content of media organisations." (Executive summary)

In preparing this curriculum, members of these Unitwin universities embarked on a year-long process of research, mapping and writing to ensure that cultural differences were taken into consideration in writing the chapters. This underpins the focus on core concepts such as gender mainstreaming, gender sensitivity, equality and equity, all which have been reflected in the book. It also ensures a wide range of information and up-to-date evidence, that can appropriately resonate in different ways in different countries." (Foreword)

der cosas nuevas, para buscar trabajo, para entretenerse en sus momentos de ocio, para participar en política y defender sus derechos, etc. El ecosistema digital y móvil en el que han crecido es la causa y la explicación de muchas de sus actitudes y comportamientos: la inmediatez les hizo impacientes y ansiosos; las redes les hicieron sociables y abiertos; la descentralización del poder y el acceso a la información les empoderó y les hizo críticos y exigentes. Por ello, preferimos hablar de cultura millennial, en lugar de generación millennial. La cultura millennial no sería exclusiva para los nacidos entre 1982 y 1998, sino que permitiría a personas nacidas en otras fechas sentirse millennial e identificarse con sus características."
