Abstract

This article analyses the ongoing debate in Poland (and globally) regarding young people’s media practices. The author notes that the vast majority of publications on this issue focus primarily on the risks, overlooking the positive aspects of children’s and adolescents’ use of digital media. However, an excessive emphasis on the negative aspects of this phenomenon can lead to significant distortions and, consequently, contribute to an inaccurate portrayal of contemporary digital culture. Therefore, when discussing young people’s media practices, a much more balanced approach is needed today – one that takes into account the full heterogeneity and complexity of their daily online behaviours.

Keywords:
