Globalt innfødte som en tapt generasjon? En konseptualisering av unge som en mediegenerasjon

Abstract

The media habits of young people are radically different from younger, but especially, older age groups. In this conceptual article, we take a closer look at the concept of “media generation”, and discuss whether it makes sense to talk about young people as a distinct media generation. Furthermore, we shed light on different approaches to the concept of generation and discuss whether today's youth can be described as “globally native” and a “lost generation” for Norwegian media, respectively.
