Popis: In this chapter I explore how media (in a broad sense) constitute an important site for different kinds of multilingual practices and how language-focused media studies contribute crucial knowledge to our understanding of multilingualism in contemporary society. The chapter is structured in two sections. Firstly, I provide an insight into recent theoretical discussions on how to conceptualize linguistic (and cultural) diversity with a particular focus on what role language-focused media research has played in these discussions. Secondly, I give a general overview of the field of ‘multilingualism and the media’ with a particular focus on multilingualism in mass media discourse and on social media.
