One of the highlights of my year in Dublin was to attend the conference on Youth, Media
and Democracy on 18-19 April, 2008 at Dublin Institute of Technology and the Digital
Hub. The conference explored the ways that new media and information &
communication technologies (ICTs) affect the activities, roles, and relationships of youth,
through topics such as new media, emerging literacies, digital divide, representations of
youth in media, and new media as a platform for democracy in the lives of young people.
It also examined how youth can express themselves through new media and showcased
youth-created media. This article contains my reflections on the event.
