The report Building Bridges adresses the questions why, how and for whom 
academic audience research has public value, from the different points 
of view of the four working groups in the COST Action IS0906 
Transforming Audiences, Transforming Societies -- "New 
Media Genres, Media Literacy and Trust in the Media", "Audience 
Interactivity and Participation", "The Role of Media and ICT Use for 
Evolving Social Relationships" and "Audience Transformations and Social 
Integration".

Building Bridges is the result of an ongoing dialogue between the Action 
and non-academic stakeholders in the field of audience 
research. Altogether, the 14 contributions in the report provide 
insights and feed the debate on the stakeholders' respective "inhabited 
worlds" (the academia being one stakeholder among others), the different 
modes of researcher-stakeholder interaction, and possible 
(and desirable) areas of joint interest and collaboration.
