-Three New books from Nordicom
Media and Global Divides. IAMCR World Congress, Stockholm,
20-5 July 2008.
Ed by Ulla Carlsson, Nordicom Review Jubilee Issue 2009, 228 p.
The publication contains a collection of the various plenary addresses
on the theme of Media and Global Divides presented at the IAMCR World
Congress in Stockholm 2008. The authors of the addresses have take the
time to edit their manuscripts for publication in this issue of
Nordicom Review. Their contributions represent a variety of
perspectives and cultures and offer many valuable reflections. It is my
hope that the chapters presented here will stimulate further
intercultural research dialogues and inspire new research initiatives.

In connection with the Swedish Presidency of the European Union, a

give an overview of young people?s media use in the digital age. Our aim
has been to present, to the extent possible, comparable data for the
countries of Europe. The publication begins with an article by Sonia

Influences of Mediated Violence. A Brief Research Summary.
By Cecilia von Feilitzen. The International Clearinghouse for Children,
Youth and Media at Nordicom, University of Gothenburg 2009, 63 p. (Price ?5)
Different parties turn to Nordicom and the Clearinghouse on Children,
Youth and Media with questions on the influences of especially mediated
violence. From time to time the Clearinghouse has highlighted the main
conclusions that can be drawn from research regarding such issues. In
this publication, Dr. Cecilia von Feilitzen, Scientific Co-ordinator at
the Clearinghouse, has attempted to classify research findings into a
more concise form than is perhaps common. There are different types of
mediated violence and different types of influences. We hope that this
publication will answer some of the questions so often asked by various
groups in society.
