[Commlist] Call for papers of Comunicação e Sociedade on “Children, youth and media: current perspectives”

/Comunicação e Sociedade/invites authors to submit papers for a new 
issue on “Children, youth and media: current perspectives”.

Editors: Sara Pereira (CECS-UMinho, Portugal), Cristina Ponte 
(ICNova-UNL, Portugal) and Nelly Elias (Department of Communication 
Studies, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel)

Over the last two decades, research into children, young people and the 
media has taken a considerable leap in terms of the number of studies 
produced, topics addressed and methodologies used. This area, given its 
multidisciplinary nature, has been affirmed in the field of 
Communication Sciences, marking the scientific agenda and opening public 
debate about the impact of the media on the lives of children and young 
people and how they use and appropriate information and produce media 
content. The digital age has created new media and platforms, generated 
a greater diversity of content, and raised different ways of access and 
distinct consumption and communication practices by this audience. This 
situation had generated new research challenges, providing new topics 
and new clues to study the media world and its action on the identities 
and cultures of children and young people.

This issue of /Comunicação e Sociedade/, devoted to studies on children, 
youth and media, pays special attention to proposals for articles that 
result from scientific research work on the following topics:

Children and youth media cultures

Media and peer culture

Rights of children and young people in the digital age

Children/youth and media in the family context
