 From the introduction:

Just as the title suggests, it is difficult to address health issues 
without considering the role of the media and everyday life; the time 
and space when health is produced and cared for or put at risk and 
exposed. In the introduction to this special issue, ‘Media and health in 
everyday life’, we will discuss the three components of the theme. We 
will offer some definitions, but also problematize the conceptual 
underpinnings and highlight the intertwinement of the three. We set off 
by reflecting on health. Then we will engage with ideas around the 
notion of everyday life. In the final section, we add the component of 
the media before we present and summarise the nine contributions to the 
special issue and clarify to what extent they add to our understanding 
of the theme.
