Female youth and social media
This paper examines the self-perceived media literacy of female University students in Greece. While previous research has recognized the multiple effects of social media on young people, little attention has been given to how young people themselves perceive the impact of social media on the creation of their identity. Utilizing a structured online questionnaire in a sample of 581 University students, discourse analysis of their answers on two o…
Screens and Preschool Children

The thematic analysis revealed two main themes: perceived positive experiences and perceived challenges of screen use. The findings suggest that positive experiences reported by parents highlight the potential for screens to contribute to their children's emotional d…
Tapping on Collective National Trauma
Introduction Media and trauma cannot exist independently but are always caught in a cross-feedback loop. Depending on its mediating technology, trauma has always given rise to a different “technological unconscious” whereby the very conditions of trauma are tied to its form and technological dimensions (Johanssen 311). Our analysis explores this link, drawing on the case of the 2023 Greek TRAUMA podcast (Koukoumakas et al.), an audio documentary …
A Multimodal Methodological Path to the Analysis of Radio Discourse in Music Radio

This innovative methodological approach is used to analyze a legendary music radio show on Greek radio. The results of the study i…
Making sense of the image of TV in Greek preschoolers’ drawings
This research illustrates how young children conceptualize the image and role of television in their lives. Building upon Kress and Van Leeuwen’s theoretical framework of Visual Grammar, 70 drawings of children from kindergartens of Thessaloniki were analyzed both qualitative and quantitative. The research found that children sketch a rich and varied profile of TV. Children’s open–ended construction of meaning surfaced content that reflected them…
Journalism education in the post-truth era
Journalism is in a state of flux and so is journalism education. The present study engages in a comparative qualitative analysis focusing on the viewpoints of journalism students in Greece and in Cyprus regarding journalism education in the post–truth era, media literacy, and journalism quality. Drawing upon evidence from four focus groups conducted in the journalism/communication departments of two public universities in Greece and Cyprus, the f…
From DJ talk to music journalism
Drawing on 5 hours of data from a very popular and one of the longest-running music radio programs, the current study uses a combination of conversation analysis and sound semiotics to study the interconnection among talk, music and sound in DJ talk, an area which is somewhat of a blind spot in radio studies. The analysis demonstrates that the music program is primarily a program that unfolds through a music information “chain” and evolves throug…
