Abstract

Monitoring media users' competencies, written by Ragne Kõuts-Klemm, Lilia Raycheva, Alnis Stakle, Iveta Jansová, Mart Ots and Neli Velinova, examines the research on patterns of media usage, as it can shed light on the risks associated with the media’s deliberative role within specific societies. These risks could stem from a lack of access to relevant content, the poor quality of media provision and manifest low trust in media, a diminished interest in communal matters or inadequate skills to use and evaluate media content. To assess the risks and opportunities arising from the monitoring of audiences’ media usage (or the absence thereof), the authors focus on three key indicators: access to media, relevance of news media and trust in the media. The competency of audiences in media usage, another factor significant to participation in deliberative communication, will be explored in the following chapter.
