Who and how are consuming media productions in the epoch of emerging sophisticated gadgets? Which are the new functions and roles of media in a world where, at least under technical approach, more and more individuals are able to communicate since communication tools are generally available? New formats, new media marketing strategies, new professional minimum standards for the job description of a journalist - so, in this new era of communication, what should the journalism schools around the world teach their students?
