    The Smart Tv in Low-Income Migrant Households: Enabling Digital Inclusion Through Social and Cultural Media Participation
    (Sage publications ltd, 2024) Notley, Tanya; Karanfil, Gökçen; Aziz, Abdüul
    This paper reports on an ethnographic study that examined smart TV use in low-income migrant households in Australia. We find that the smart TV is used by migrant families for diverse forms of social and cultural participation. In addition, we find that YouTube - which is often accessed using the smart TV - is reshaping family media practices. We argue that while digital inclusion scholarship has focussed on access to and use of mobile phones, laptops and computers, the smart TV, perhaps more than any other device in the home, enables digital inclusion through intergenerational media engagement. This paper presents insights for policymakers and offers a new area for investigation for digital inclusion and media scholars.
