Media narratives play a central role in the production of meaning about the world, articulating representations, affects, symbolic disputes, and projects for the future. By mediating and mediatising individual and collective experiences, the media not only reflect social dynamics but also actively participate in processes of social transformation, whether by making inequalities visible and reinforcing specific regimes of truth, or by producing counter-narratives and challenging exclusion. Social transformation, in this context, is understood as a set of changes – gradual or disruptive – in the structures – being cultural, political, economic, communicational, or otherwise – that organise social life.
