Let’s have a closer look at the project’s profile and try to see the ways students can benefit.

The world is digitising. This is not a simple process for the media, as ‘ordinary’ reality and digital reality are two different worlds, themselves separate from a magazine.

The research was published in the journal Behavior Research Methods.
