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
(medialiteracy.ijse /at/ gmail.com) with the following subject “Literacy IJSE”.

Each proposal must include title, name(s), affiliation, and email
addresses of the author(s). Four keywords are required. Notification of
