The relevance of the study is due to the expansion of the media space of Ukrainian libraries for children and youth and the use of media practices on their pages in social networks. The aim is to study and compare the applied media practices by domestic libraries for children and youth, to consider new forms of work with the use of media content by libraries for young people and to illustrate their attractiveness to the user. To solve the tasks, the method of analysis of library content in new media, methods of comparison, generalization and sociocommunication were used. The presence of libraries in new media attracts the attention of young people, and information and communication technologies become intermediaries between the book collection and the user. An important component of the attractiveness of the library’s page in social networks is not only the expansion of new channels of communication, but also the creation of the author’s media content.

The article deals with the prospects of robotization of a big part of journalists’ work that may lead to redundancies in the media industry, transformation of traditional professional skills and emergence of new standards and competencies. The topicality of the article is proved by the need to explore the new boundaries of journalism as profession. The author analyzes both types of work that can be automated, and those journalist activities where artificial intelligence cannot replace a human. The subject of the study is the data of the most recent researches, sociological surveys and statistics on transformation of the current media market and the new requirements for media-workers’ competencies in the context of the digital revolution. Basing on extensive factual material and experts’ forecasts, the author infers that it is high time for media professionals to extend the range of competencies and determine a related professional niche to secure them a job in case of redundancies caused by robotization. The original results of a sociological survey carried out at the Department of International Journalism of MGIMO University build up the scientific novelty of the article. The aim of the survey was to find out and analyze the undergraduate students’ vision of their work prospects as journalists, to correlate their career plans and employers’ demand, and to identify their readiness to adapt to the new media practices. The results of the survey bring the author to the conclusion that it is necessary to radically update the current syllabi to focus on the most recent information and communication technologies.

Political economy of the media includes several domains including journalism, broadcasting, advertising, and information and communication technology. A political economy approach analyzes the power relationships between politics, mediation, and economics. First, there is a need to identify the intellectual history of the field, focusing on the establishment and growth of the political economy of media as an academic field. Second is the discussion of the epistemology of the field by emphasizing several major characteristics that differentiate it from other approaches within media and communication research. Third, there needs an understanding of the regulations affecting information and communication technologies (ICTs) and/or the digital media-driven communication environment, especially charting the beginnings of political economy studies of media within the culture industry. In particular, what are the ways political economists develop and use political economy in digital media and the new media milieu driven by platform technologies in the three new areas of digital platforms, big data, and digital labor. These areas are crucial for analysis not only because they are intricately connected, but also because they have become massive, major parts of modern capitalism.

While research on youth media offers persuasive arguments about what young people are doing with information and communication technologies (ICTs), a significant absence from the literature pertains to the general neglect of Palestinian youth engagements with inexpensive ICTs and digital media forms. Despite a few perceptive analyses, several studies ignore the role of popular culture in Palestinian refugee life-worlds. This article explores how Palestinian youth living in a refugee camp in the West Bank appropriate old and new media to create personal and social narratives. Drawing insights from Paul Ricoeur’s work, non-representational theory, feminist, media, and cultural studies, the article probes the issues through a set of interrelated questions: What are the salient features of the Palestinian youth media initiative? What kinds of media narratives are produced and how do these relate to young people’s notions of identity and selfhood? How do young people refashion the notion of the political?

Marginalised young people who find themselves disadvantaged in a number of respects also tend to experience limited access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) – with the exception of mobile phones. The European Commission-funded ComeIn project seeks to take advantage of marginalised young people’s access to mobile phones by reaching out to them via an innovative pedagogical approach based on the media convergence of the mobile phone through an online platform with video streaming. The platform was developed specifically for the purposes of the project to create the possibility for new, positive learning experiences as well as for interaction with peers and youth workers. In a three-month study in Austria and the United Kingdom, 94 young people accessed the platform via their mobile phones. In this paper we discuss the appropriateness of media convergence as a means for learning in and across three dimensions: interaction, creative expression and self-organisation. Furthermore, we explore how to incorporate initiatives such as ComeIn in an institutionalised context.

Resumo: O presente artigo pretende responder à questão: de que forma as telas se interpõem entre o sujeito e a realidade, no contexto das Novas Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação, em particular no caso das telas da televisão (no formato do Reality Show) e das telas de computador (na profusão das Redes Sociais)? Utilizando a metodologia interpretativista, é nosso objetivo tomar como ponto de partida a etimologia de técnica e tecnologia para estabelecer o caráter tecnológico do relacionamento do homem com a realidade. Demonstrada essa premissa, convocaremos os conceitos heideggerianos (dasein e ge-stell) para interpretar o modo como a tecnologia da tela responde a uma necessidade social de felicidade, que provém das mídias num mundo que se re-descobre icônico. Cada um de nós é convocado, na vida do dia a dia, para um importante encontro, especial e urgente, com a representação do seu próprio eu face a uma tela, a qual será o seu próprio espaço de felicidade. Pretendemos aferir se, hoje, são hipervalorizadas as ideologias que traduzem a realidade em concepções binárias do mundo, projetando o dasein na demanda pela unidade (1), opondo-o ao insucesso (0), de cada vez que se usa uma tela mais como um espelho ou uma janela, esquecendo a sua função de ge-stell e fazendo disso a promoção, não da forma de descoberta do dasein, mas, em vez disso, da abertura para o próprio lugar dos simulacros.Palavras-chave: novas mídias; tecnologia; telas, público/privado. Abstract: This article seeks to answer the question: how the screens are interposed between the subject and reality, in contexts of the New Technologies of Information and Communication, particularly in the case of television screens (in the reality show format) and computer screens (by the profusion of social networks)? Using the interpretative methodology, our goal is to take as a starting point the etymology of technic and technology to establish the technological nature of man’s relationship with reality. Once this premise is demonstrated, we will convene the Heideggerian concepts (dasein and ge-stell) to interpret how the technology of the screen meets a social need for happiness that comes from the media in a world that re-discovers itself as iconic. Each of us is called upon, in our day-to-day life, to an important, special and urgent meeting with the representation of our own selves, against a screen, where will be its own place of happiness. We intend to assess whether ideologies are hiper-evaluated today, especially when translating reality into binary conceptions of the world, projecting dasein on the demand for unity (1), opposing it to failure (0), each time using the screen more like a mirror or a window, and forgetting its function as a ge-stell by making it a promotion, and not doing it as a way to discover dasein, but, instead, as the opening of the simulacra itself.Keywords: new media; tecnhology; screen; public/private.

In recent years, the Middle East’s information and communications landscape has changed dramatically. Increasingly, states, businesses, and citizens are capitalizing on the opportunities offered by new information technologies, the fast pace of digital transformations, and enhanced connectivity. These changes are far from turning Middle Eastern nations into network societies, but their impact is significant. The growing adoption of a wide variety of information technologies and new media platforms in everyday life has given rise to complex dynamics that beg for a better understanding. Digital Middle East sheds a critical light on continuing changes that are closely intertwined with the adoption of information and communication technologies in the MENA region. Drawing on case studies from throughout the Middle East, the contributors explore how these digital transformations are playing out in the social, cultural, political, and economic spheres, exposing the various disjunctions and discordances that have marked the advent of the digital Middle East.
