*Abstract*

This book presents a qualitative longitudinal panel-study on child and 
adolescent socialisation in socially disadvantaged families. The study 
traces how children and their parents make sense of media within the 
context of their everyday life over twelve years (from 2005 to 2017) and 
provides a unique perspective on the role of different socialisation 
contexts, drawing on rich data from a broad range of qualitative 
methods. Using a theoretical framework and methodological approach that 
can be applied transnationally, it sheds light on the complex interplay 
of factors which shape children’s socialisation and media usage in 
multiple ways.

*Endorsements*

“A rare example of an inclusive approach to children’s relations to 
media, this important volume challenges snapshot perceptions of change. 
It is likely to be a key work of reference for years to come.” – 
*Kirsten Drotner*, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark

“Rarely do we get to follow disadvantaged children’s developing 
media-lives into adulthood with such detail and insight. A comprehensive 
and enriching book for all those who care about children’s 
socialization, wellbeing, and equity!” – *Dafna Lemish*, Rutgers 
University, USA

“The book represents an astonishing body of in-depth and longitudinal 
research on the complex dynamics which characterise how 
socially-disadvantaged children are growing up in a thoroughly-mediated 
age. The results show starkly that policy interventions in the interests 
of social justice should include attention to the media and digital 
environment which, increasingly, shapes children’s life chances.” – 
*Sonia Livingstone*, London School of Economics, UK

“Clearly written and illustrated, this book presents a permanent 
'dialog' between concepts and data, and is an outstanding contribution 
to Communication and Media Studies, Children Studies, Family Studies or 
Education.– *Cristina Ponte*, New University of Lisbon, Portugal
