International Conference YouthMediaLife 2024

This conference at the University of Vienna explores the impact of media on young people's lives and the ways it influences individuality, group formation, identity construction, and differentiation between analog and digital practices. It also examines the role of schools in media competence and socialization, the influence of technological change on narrative practices, patterns of inclusion and exclusion in social media, and young people's choice of media expressions for major concerns. Additionally, it addresses the challenges for academics in keeping up with a rapidly changing global media landscape.
