Young People in the Nordic Digital Media Culture : A Statistical Overview
- 2013
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Nordicom publishes a large number of publications on media and ongoing trends in media development, our aim being to provide answers to complex questions concerning our contemporary media culture in the age of digitalization and globalization. We receive questions on a daily basis regarding the media habits of children and youth and the effects of new communication patterns. How have these changes affected childen and youth? What has happened to TV viewing, listening to the radio and reading newspapers? Do young people still read books and magazines? Do they understand what they read? What is the role of social media? Who are the most active media users? What groups are excluded? The questions are many and they are often quite complicated. There is no doubt that we are talking about a changed communication society with new communication patterns. Digitalization along with extensive media convergence is changing the communication system fundamentally with regard to time and space as well as social behaviour. This is particularly true for children and youth. Not since the introduction of television have we seen such radical changes in young people’s media culture than in the past ten years. These changes can have both short- and long-term effects. If we are to make decisions that have sustainable effects in the long run – especially from the perspective of democracy – we need knowledge of relevance. There is a demand for current statistics in this area, and Nordicom has now compiled a selection of statistics on young people and media in the Nordic countries.

New Questions, New Insights, New Approaches. Contributions to the Research Forum at the World Summit on Media for Children and Youth 2010. Yearbook 2011
- 2011
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapid and dramatically changing digital and converging media and communication processes have given rise to new questions about the relations between children, youth and media. These processes have prompted many in research and in the debate to reformulate and re-approach basic questions at new levels and from new perspectives. By elucidating, broadening and contextualizing knowledge about young people and media from a global point of view, we also discover the very different media situations in various parts of the world. In cooperation with the hosts of the World Summit on Media for Children and Youth in 2010, Karlstad, Sweden, The International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media at Nordicom organized a Research Forum with different sessions in the summit programme. The aim of each session was to provide a space for an exchange of knowledge and a dialogue between the different groups of delegates at the summit and for researchers to reach out to interested parties in and outside the research community. A constructive dialogue between representatives of different professions and positions is vital for further progress in realizing children’s rights. Under the overriding theme of the introductory Plenary Session "New Questions, New Insights, New Approaches", The Clearinghouse Research Forum had four more sessions with panels on different themes: • Children, Media, Consumption and Health • Media Ethics and Social Responsibility • Communication for Social Change • Media Literacy and Education The current Yearbook is based on the twenty-five presentations given by a range of the most outstanding scholars from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. For this book, they reworked their contributions to provide slightly extended articles.

Youth Have Their Say on Internet Governance : Nordic Youth Forum at EuroDIG Stockholm June 2012
- 2012
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The report is a result of the Nordic initiative to make young people’s voices heard in international arenas, and one main arena is the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and its regional counterparts, such as EuroDIG. So far the youth have been largely absent from these forums, with very limited participation and presence even though they are sometimes the most eager users of the Internet. In June 2012 the Nordic Youth IGF took place in Stockholm, giving a group of 26 young people aged 14 to 19 years from each of the five Nordic countries the opportunity to meet and discuss issues regarding the Internet and its future. The idea of the Nordic Youth IGF was to be an open and informal meeting where youth could voice their thoughts, ideas and worries from the point of openness, diversity, accessibility, culture, security and rights. This report includes both individual statements from some Nordic youth and a summary of the opinions and demands of the Nordic youth concerning Internet governance. The report also presents some facts and figures on the Nordic countries, and lists contact information for all partners, some ongoing projects and useful documents.
