Professor Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics:
“Regulating audiences: Critical reflections on media regulation and media literacy policy
Torsdag 30. maj 2013, kl. 13-15
Lokale: 43-2.29
Abstract
What do citizens need to understand about the changing media and communication environment? Who is responsible for ensuring they gain such knowledge? This lecture will reflect on recent developments in the UK and, more widely, in Europe, to pinpoint the conceptual, methodological and political challenges in enhancing citizens’ media literacy. Often, media literacy is examined by educationalists, while media regulation is thought of as the narrow and technical concern with spectrum management and broadband speeds. Complementing other approaches to media literacy while critiquing traditional approaches to regulation, I will develop an alternative, audience-centred approach to media regulation in order to reveal the citizen interests at stake in media literacy policy.
About Sonia Livingstone
Sonia Livingstone is Professor of Social Psychology, Department of Media and Communications at LSE. Her research examines the opportunities and risks afforded by digital and online technologies in a range of contexts, including children and young people’s experience of digital media at home and school, developments in media and digital literacies, and the implications of the changing media environment for audiences, publics and the public sphere. More broadly, she is interested in how citizen values (public sphere, rights-based, equity-focused, diversity-promoting) can be better embedded in information and communication infrastructures in institutions, regulators and the lifeworld.
