Media & Jornalismo: Special issue “Media education in a digital age”



The topic of media education has attracted growing attention from researchers internationally, both from the field of communication and from education. On the ground, there are several projects from public, private and civil actors.

The international dialogue that Portugal has developed around media education has mostly established connections with Europe and Brazil, with an agenda of citizens’ (especially of children and young people) inclusion and empowerment for participation in social life (Carlsson et al., 2008). Looking at the media in the scope of everyday life, it is considered that the inclusion and empowerment for digital media is interlinked with the need to increase civic literacy, that requires the involvement of several actors, from the youngsters to parents and schools, as well as stakeholders. In this context, informal contexts have gained momentum, with a political focus on lifelong learning.



From the work and research developed in the project RadioActive Europe, funded by the European Commission, we promote a special issue on media education projects in Portugal and internationally, focusing on digital media in formal and informal learning environments; radio and its participatory and educational potential; contrasts and interlinks between formal and informal environments; and intervention/pedagogical strategies focused on digital media in lifelong learning, given the focus of RadioActive (exploring online radio possibilities for empowerment and inclusion of young people at risk of exclusion and in informal settings). Other suggested, but not exclusive, topics, are: digital literacies, transliteracies, assessment of literacy competences, and participatory methodologies.
