摘要

This second yearbook on media and information literacy and intercultural dialogue comes from the NORDICOM Clearinghouse on Children, Youth, and Media. The book's emphasis on media and information literacy advances the long-held interest that NORDICOM and other research centers have had in media education (or media literacy), adding to it a focus on contemporary and digital media. Taking its lead from a UNESCO program, the group has added the idea of intercultural dialogue. A global conference brought together a network of media literacy researchers from around the world to share findings on using new technologies to promote dialogue among peoples and countries, with a particular emphasis on young people.
