Adolescent flourishing in a digitally connected world
A Framework for Co-Designing Social Media Literacy Education with Women from Migrant and Refugee Backgrounds
Social media is an integral part of everyday life for women from migrant and refugee backgrounds and is sometimes recognised as a ‘critical lifeline’ enabling access to essential support during settlement. Despite this, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) women in Australia often have limited and uneven access to critical social media literacy education opportunities, and there remains a lack of in-depth research exploring what CALD wome…
Mis- and distrust cues
The sheer volume of news and information people see online, especially on social media, can be overwhelming and make it difficult – or impossible – for people to fact-check the content they come across on a daily basis. In light of this, our study explored the everyday methods people use to decide who and what to trust online. Using a 1-week digital diary study with 55 adult participants living in Australia, we learnt that mis- and distrust cues …
Mistrust as a precondition for critical thinking and media literacy
Media literacy can help individuals identify misinformation, including content that is deliberately and falsely presented as news. A key yet underexplored component of media literacy is how mistrust acts as a precondition for a critical disposition towards information sources and the claims they make. This study introduces the concept of mistrust within the context of verifying information and explores its relationship to media literacy. We condu…

The unjust burden of digital inclusion for low‐income migrant parents
There are significant digital inclusion disparities between low‐ and high‐income households across countries. Yet, there is a lack of in‐depth research about the relationship between digital and social participation in low‐income family households, especially in households facing multiple forms of disadvantage and discrimination due to language, cultural or literacy barriers. This article is based on long‐term ethnographic research with low‐incom…
The smart TV in low-income migrant households
This paper reports on an ethnographic study that examined smart TV use in low-income migrant households in Australia. We find that the smart TV is used by migrant families for diverse forms of social and cultural participation. In addition, we find that YouTube – which is often accessed using the smart TV – is reshaping family media practices. We argue that while digital inclusion scholarship has focussed on access to and use of mobile phones, la…
Using YouTube to seek answers and make decisions
This article argues that it is necessary to develop new approaches to media and information literacy (MIL) education to respond to information seeking on YouTube. The article draws on data from a survey of adult Australians (N=3,510), focusing on their media literacy attitudes, experiences, and needs. A subset of this data focuses on respondents who use YouTube to seek information for a purpose. The article interrogates the data to ask who uses Y…
Exploring the relationship between media literacy, online interaction, and civic engagement
Internet and media use can provide accessible, diverse, and timely opportunities for civic engagement. However, to use media and the internet to interact and collaborate, citizens need to be equipped with particular skills and knowledge. This study draws on a national survey of Australian adults (N = 3,510) to examine how media abilities and online interaction activities are related to their civic engagement. The findings suggest that the more ac…
How news media literacy is taught in Australian classrooms
Comparing children’s and teens’ news engagement practices and affective news experiences
Studies that examine the news engagement practices of school students usually examine children or teenagers, and this precludes an examination of the similarities and differences between these groups. In 2020, we carried out a nationally representative survey of the news practices and experiences of young Australians aged 8–16 years and we compared the results for those aged 8–12 years and 13–16 years. The findings demonstrate that family is the …
Muslim Responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic in Western Sydney
In Australia, the COVID-19 pandemic rendered visible and exacerbated socio-economic inequalities and divides. Migrant and religious minority communities in Australia faced particular challenges during the pandemic when government responses were not made culturally accessible, appropriate or relatable. This paper examines the role played by community-specific communication infrastructures in addressing government deficiencies to meet the needs of …
Addressing a volatile subject
Measuring the dynamic shape of digital practices and their near-ubiquitous relationship to daily life is an elusive quest, one that must contend with temporal and relational limits. Research instruments employing categories and indicators struggle with the transient and interconnected character of the digital ‘social fact’. Longitudinal studies pose special difficulties: a 1990s study of browsing and searching would need to be updated to account …
Data centres as logistical facilities
Data centres mobilise server-client architectures to disperse and draw in labour from across industries and nations. In doing so, they provide an infrastructural fix for capitalist actors seeking to bypass traditional labour actions, by designing logistical routes around which to redirect production processes. In this article, we build on research that investigates the data centre industry in Singapore to consider how these facilities drive proce…
Advancing children’s news media literacy
Social media use has redefined the production, experience and consumption of news media. These changes have made verifying and trusting news content more complicated and this has led to a number of recent flashpoints for claims and counter-claims of ‘fake news’ at critical moments during elections, natural disasters and acts of terrorism. Concerns regarding the actual and potential social impact of fake news led us to carry out the first national…
The environmental costs of the global digital economy in Asia and the urgent need for better policy
Digital services and products are often described as immaterial or virtual. However, they are responsible for a vast amount of environmental damage and destruction. The creation, processing, storage and movement of data relies on extensive natural and finite resources including electricity, water, metals, elements and chemicals as well as the production of human-made materials including plastics and glass; the disposal of these materials can prod…
Video for Change
‘Video for Change’ refers to the practice of using video as a means to activate progressive social change. Ongoing work in this field seeks to define and establish ethical considerations that can inform and direct Video for Change as an emerging practice. This article reports on a research project carried out with a network of Video for Change organizations. The purpose of this project was to inform the development of an impact framework that cou…
The materiality of globital memory
The cloud is a metaphor that helps to obscure the material realities that rest beneath our digital memories. However, a number of scholars in memory studies have suggested that cultural memory has always had a material basis and some, though limited, scholarly attention has already considered the toxic by-products and unethical practices involved in mining minerals that are used in making digital memories. This article draws on earlier work on th…
Communication technology and social life
Anthropology is now developing and using ethnography to research uses and experiences of digital communication technology (including mobile phones, the internet and software), in and across many different cultures and societies. Ethnography enables a focus on the complex intertwining of society, culture and technology allowing us to see how technologies are being transformed by existing modes of life, while simultaneously having a ‘messy’ influen…
Using video and online subtitling to communicate across languages from West Papua
In this paper we examine mediated practices and experiences of online translation and subtitling. Our paper is based on a collaboration with EngageMedia − a not‐for‐profit organisation based in Australia and Indonesia − and is specifically focused on its work in West Papua. We argue that the video‐hosting and online subtitling that is enabled through EngageMedia's websites, while mobilising West Papuan stories in a logical, relatively fast and or…
Young People, Online Networks, and Social Inclusion
This paper examines the ways nine teenage Australians—identified as being 'at risk' of social exclusion—are using online networks to participate in society. The research finds that online networks provided the participants with valuable opportunities for social inclusion. These findings are contextualized in relation to current Australian Government education and social policies which, on the one hand aspire to support young people’s social inclu…
