Abstract:

The research goal of the project is to create a typology of media consumption and media preferences or media repertoires of young people. In addition, the relationship between young people's media types and differences in cultural consumption, media and digital education, political participation, and structural differences in young people's everyday digital lives will be determined. At the same time, we examine the relationship between young people's media use and their value orientations, social position, and other demographic characteristics (class, gender, and other sociodemographic differences). At the same time, we aim to gain insights into the ethnography of young people's everyday practices and rituals in the context of a networked society where attention is fragmented and dispersed. Finally, the goal of the project is to find out what young people's attitudes are toward politics and political engagement, in terms of their core value orientations. That is, we will find out how value orientations affect the evaluation of conventional and unconventional political forms and how young people practice politics and civic styles in a highly digitized everyday life.
