In this lecture, Mark Deuze explores what a good life in media can look like by applying the three basic principles of the 'Life in Media' project: media disappear, media are what we do, and we love media. Media play a crucial role in our lives: they give us power and agency. The main question, therefore, is: how can we ensure that our media bring us closer together?
