With the datafication of everyday life, increasingly powerful platforms and intensified competition for attention, media users face a media environment which is increasingly perceived as intrusive and exploitative of their data traces. This situation causes ambivalence and resignation as well as immersive and joyful media experiences. Understanding these experiences is crucial to democracy, as media use continues to be central for public connection and citizens’ information about and engagement in society. In addition to making sense of media usage through metrics such as clicks, time spent, shares or comments, critical attention to problematic representations of datafication should be bridged with broader and deeper understandings of media as experience.
New knowledge: The collaboration between Bergen Media Use Research Group at UiB and user partners in the centre will generate new knowledge from a dual strategy: (i) monitor users across media with state-of-the-art tracking devices and critical attention to limitations of such methods, combined with surveys and survey experiments, and (ii) understand future media experiences through qualitative in-depth explorations of emerging and transforming media use
Objective: To provide fundamental knowledge on how users will interact with the media of the future, by monitoring and understanding users across media through advanced quantitative and qualitative approaches.
