Drawing from a cross-sectional survey ( N = 1000), this study examines (1) the extent to which Belgian adults experience digital well-being (i.e. perceive agency over and functional support from the use of digital media), (2) which digital disconnection strategies they use to limit connectivity, (3) how their use of these strategies relates to their digital well-being, and (4) whether different user groups can be identified in terms of digital well-being experiences. We find evidence for ambivalence in the relationship towards digital media. Popular disconnection strategies involve access restrictions. Those reporting less agency generally disconnect more. Lastly, a typology based on respondents’ digital well-being scores reveals four clusters of indifferent, enthusiastic, ambivalent, and sceptical digital media users that differ in demographic, personality and media use/ownership characteristics. Collectively, this study gives insight into how digital well-being and digital disconnection are distributed, lifting the veil over who might be more susceptible to struggling with constant connectivity.

This review essay delves into the exploration of Russian identity over the past century through the analysis of three books. The study begins by examining the role of Zhdun as a metaphor for the post-Soviet self, highlighting its connection to a sense of suspension and the search for a stable identity, as suggested by Borenstein. Referring to the identity debates during the early Soviet society, the author discusses the transformation of individuals into Soviet citizens and the impact of Soviet policies on personal expression, as exposed in Postoutenko and Tikhomirov’s volume. The difficulties faced by foreign correspondents reporting on Soviet Russia reveal the challenges of obtaining accurate information due to censorship and political limitations, as Rodgers emphasizes in his account. This contributes to the creation of a mythical Russian identity. The review concludes by suggesting a reading order for the three books, highlighting their different organizational approaches and scopes.

communication. Chapters of this section deal with the theory of development, communication, and modernization. Here the focus is on the use of media as a tool for bringing about change in society—from the dominant top-down approach of modernization theory to the bottom-up participatory approach of development. The uses of ICT for development have become a new phenomenon, and media scholars and practitioners have given it enough attention to explore this telecommunications approach for development. However, there is a strong critique of the monopolization of these ICT companies, mostly from the developed world like the US. This has resulted in the corporatization and commercialization of the media landscape at the global level, which has influenced the geopolitics of the world. The dominant powers like the US and now China have created a new geopolitical tension. While the role of the media has been considered important in bringing about change in society, in the changed landscape imported or foreign media has been seen as a tool reinforcing the dominant ideology of big corporate companies. This is called “media imperialism” or “cultural imperialism.” It explains the political economy of the media and its power relations. This criticism led to the emergence of the concept of the participatory approach to media and communication for development. Technological advancement has given rise to new platforms for communication and allowed citizens to connect with information more easily. This is an interesting book, which explains how the field is characterized by a continuity of critical concerns in relation to power, influence, and domination; media user empowerment and exploitation; and social and sustainable development and democratic conditions, as well as geopolitical shifts, in a global context.
