Using pictures and images is a great means to overcome cultural or language barriers and, at the same time, cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and empathy. Among their superpowers is also the ability to teach media literacy. Comics are a visual medium and people tend to react better to visual communication than verbal. Discussing multimodal literacy, we can claim that comics can become an efficient media literacy tool, especially for children, and with a special focus on diversity. In an era where misinformation/disinformation and fake news are all around us, marginalised groups, such as refugee populations, are more vulnerable. At the same time, Covid-19 brought upon us not only an infodemic but also digital inequalities, as several communities are excluded by the digital transformation. In this commentary article, we will present a...

Having described the organizational, operational and regulation model of traditional media, we try to examine the causes of the crisis media face today, not only in Greece, but in an international level. Additionally, we study the adoption of Corporate Social Responsibility as a new strategic approach of the cultural and operational paradigm of media organizations. Is CSR able to contribute towards a change in the contemporary media field? The correlation between the characteristic elements of CSR and social media lays on the center of our research hypothesis. Can social media contribute to the revision of the organizational and operational model of media under the prism of responsibility, accountability and transparency? Until now, the research regarding media responsib...

In this context, the authors examine shared value as basic component of the new version of social responsibility. Can innovative CSR approaches act effectively in managing the most damaging impacts of a crisis as the loss of trust and credibility and restore a company's reputation through various positive spillovers? Just before Christmas 2017, Lidl Hellas announced a digital campaign, with a social impact with the hashtag #apotalidl. Every use of the phrase in the digital world shall buy 10 meals for people on need. Here we see a complete sidestepping of any issue of recognition focusing on the lasting social effects.

A central element of the transition to co-creation is the ability to develop and manage effective two-way communications and information systems (Leavy 2011). The power of co-creation is applicable anywhere along the value chain and to any type of industry (Leavy 2011). Co-creation can apply to any business, large or small whose customers have experiences and interactions. Moreover, customer engagement can take many forms, from face-to-face meetings involving a handful of people to web-enabled, large-scale social interactions involving many thousands (Leavy 2011, Ramaswamy & Gouillart ...

leaders. Following a survey conducted in four European countries (Latvia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Bulgaria) attempting to identify the
needs for new leadership skills during the economic crisis, a leadership programme was designed to train young leaders in the
leadership skills identified as the most crucial. Pilot testing of the training programme with the participation of the trainers from
the four receiving countries revealed a significant level of satisfaction among most of the participants.

During the creation of a comic story you might work alone or you might have to work with others as a collaborative and co-creation oriented-team, building on diverse backgrounds, knowledge, experiences and skills (script writer and penciler, inker, letterer etc). Comics creation is nevertheless a co-creation process. Either you work alone, or you work inside a team you always interact with your audience and external environment. We use comics storytelling as a tool to foster collaboration, teamwork and creativity.
In this paper we will describe the methodology of collaborative comics storytelling as having been
applied to:
- elementary school children with a focus on creativity
- companies and leaders with a focus on team building, brainstorming, collaboration and creative problem solving
We will also present and discuss findings of an ongoing research regarding the dynamics of the medium of comics as an educational tool promoting leadership skills (creativity, team building,
collaboration, creative problem solving).

However, the rapid development of digital technologies, and especially of social media platforms, has created additional challenges to understanding this extreme act. This book explores the nature of hate speech on social media. Readers will find chapters written by 21 authors from 18 universities or research centers. It includes researchers from 11 countries, prioritizing a diversity of approaches from the Global North and Global South – Brazil, Cyprus, Ethiopia, Germany, Nigeria, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the USA. The analyses herein involve the realities in an even larger number of countries, given the transnational approach of some of these studies.
