The present generation of young people, unlike its predecessors, lives in an increasingly globalizing world that is being transformed by a wide range of technological innovations. Despite these major developments, it is a world that still faces deep socio-economic disparities across various regions. A number of scholars have characterized contemporary globalization in positive as well as negative terms; some argued that the “global media culture” implicates young people as passive consumers, while others pointed to the possibilities opened-up by information and communication technologies (ICTs) and new media (Feilitzen and Carlsson, 2002; Slater and Tacchi, 2004). Youth involvement in the media spans a wide range of activities – from learning technical, production, writing, and reporting skills to developing and deconstructing media content – and is closely connected to the processes of media education and literacy.
