Dear colleagues,
The new special issue of the International
Journal of Media and Cultural Politics on EU
Kids Online has just come out. More information
can be found below. Apologies for cross-posting.
Special issue: EU Kids Online
International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics, 6.1 (Intellect Books)
Guest editors: Liza Tsaliki and Leslie Haddon
As new media are rapidly becoming embedded in
everyday life across Europe and elsewhere, there
are pressing questions regarding access and
inequalities, the nature and quality of use, the
implications for children?s social and
educational development and the balance between
online opportunities and risks for children and their families.
The project ?EU Kids Online?, a 21-country study
funded by the European Commission?s Safer
Internet Plus Programme, has pulled together and
analysed European research on children?s
experiences of the Internet, aiming to address
the wider challenge of how, systematically, to
manage cross-national comparisons. Although the
project covers the various Internet experiences
of children and youth more generally, given the
wider policy discussions there is also a
particular interest in the risks (and
opportunities) of the online environment. This
Special Issue of the International Journal of
Media and Cultural Politics presents five
original research articles drawn from the activities of the network.

ABOUT THE JOURNAL
The International Journal of Media and Cultural
Politics (MCP) is committed to analyzing the
politics of communication(s) and cultural
processes. It addresses cultural politics in
their local, international and global
dimensions, recognizing equally the importance
of issues defined by their specific cultural
geography and those which traverse cultures and
nations. MCP promotes critical, in-depth,
engaged research on the intersections of
sociology, politics, cultural studies and media
studies and invites sharp, contemporary,
stimulating analyses of issues of live concern
for a broad range of cultures and nations and for the international community.
Edited by Katharine Sarikakis and Neil Blain.
