The role that age and generation play in shaping patterns of (news) media consumption is a particularly significant issue in current media studies. By virtue of the interplay of the theoretical concept of generations and the critical study of language, the article, empirically rooted in the Estonian context, seeks to outline the ways in which language reflects some media-related practices and perspectives. Analysing qualitative data from focus groups conducted in autumn/winter 2011 among Estonian media users aged 16–72, the article attempts to shed light on the complex nature of the generational consciousness that manifests itself through interaction with people of the same age and with a socially shared framework in terms of the perception of news media’s role, as well as the adoption of novel forms of media and technologies. A specific focus is on four generations who reached their ‘formative age’ in one of four possible periods (1) the post-war period, (2) the Soviet period, (3) the period of restoration of national independence, and (4) the period of transformation into a democratic society and highly technologized media culture.

In the age of convergence, the American television industry is turning to the production of media content that can be accessed through a range of platforms. In this study, we will research to which degree this is also true for the European case of Flanders, investigating the elements that are part of contemporary television texts on the one hand, and the production process of these expanded television texts on the other hand. Production analyses of four Flemish fiction series show that cross-and transmedia applications are rather limited, especially on commercial television. Most of the program extensions are situated within traditional media and are purely commercial extensions. By doing in-depth interviews with producers of each case, we found that transmedia extensions are not integrated in the production process because of budgetary restrictions and a widespread disbelief in the benefits of transmedia stories.
