[ecrea] International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics 6.1: Special issue - EU Kids Online

Mon Feb 22 07:16:12 GMT 2010



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.
