Insights about young people & media

One of Media Sweden's biggest concerns is the large gap between younger and older generations' media consumption. In order to survive in the long run, and from a democratic perspective, the media are grappling with how to get younger generations to take part in, and pay for, journalism.

Media & democracy has run or participated in five research projects on young media consumers. Now we have collected all published material and valuable insights about the target group in one place.
