Since digitalization, the media have become more and more pervasive in
the daily life of young people. While much emphasis is being put by
researchers and political institutions on the use of new media to
enhance the teaching process, less attention has been focused on the
development of those abilities connected with a significant use of new
media in daily life. The latest evidence shows how skills connected to
information awareness, to digital safety, to the use of social media to
relate to peers, are more and more important features for young people’s wellbeing. Considering the intrinsic multidisciplinary vocation of media literacy research, we call for contributions that draw on specific fields of expertise, such as sociology, media research, communication studies, cultural studies, social studies of technology, and for contributions that develop interdisciplinary perspectives. The questions that this special issue wants to consider are: how is the concept of media literacy changing? What social issues emerge as media literacy becomes more and more vital for participation in society? What are the policies to promote it? Finally, what is the relationship between new media literacy and digital inequality?

Please submit abstracts (up to 300 words) by February 20th, 2016 to
