Adolescent Room Culture: Studying Media in the Context of Everyday Life.

Steele, Jeanne R.; Brown, Jane D.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v24 n5 p551-76 Oct 1995

The Adolescents' Media Practice Model is proposed and discussed. The model emphasizes a dialectical process in which the media are important cultural agents with influence on audiences that is amplified and restrained by individuals who interact with the media from their own positions. The model is grounded in "room culture." (SLD)
