Media Construct, Constructive Media

The role of media in shaping our perception of reality is undeniable. This conference delves into the intricate processes through which media constructs and influences our understanding of the world. Adopting a constructionist perspective, we recognize that meaning and reality are socially constructed. It is not the material world but social actors who actively create meaning through language and representation.

At the same time, the conference also spotlights the transformative potential of constructive media. This emerging paradigm challenges traditional narratives by emphasizing positive impact, solutions, and empowerment. Constructive media transcends sensationalism and doom-scrolling. It focuses on solutions, innovations, progress and recognizes audiences as active participants rather than passive recipients. By highlighting successful approaches to societal challenges, constructive media inspires hope and encourages collective action.
