Preferred term

media use by immigrants  

Definition

  • Children and young people with a background of migration are often described as “between two worlds.” The role of the media in the process of cultural change that accompanies migration has not been extensively explored. However, migration movements in Europe in the late 20th century evoked interest among media scholars in studying the media's importance in the process of migration, both for maintaining bonds with the homeland and for integration into the new country.
