University of Jyväskylä, Associate Professor Marko Siitonen

The research project inquires into immigrant families’ practices of news and media use. The study aims to find out, what immigrant families’ news and media landscape is like, and what kind of meaning-making negotiations family members engage in in relation to media use. The study focuses on the experiences, perceptions and choices of parent(s) and their teenage-aged (15-20 years old) children.
