 abstract={The decline in social capital, observed in recent decades, has become a major concern for researchers and policymakers. The main goal of this paper is to investigate to what extent media consumption by young people in their leisure time affects specific types of communal activities, defined as an element of social capital. The basic hypothesis that the authors aimed to test in this paper is that the consumption of entertainment-focused media content reduces community engagement while the consumption of informative and educational media content increases it.},
 abstract={The empirical data were collected in 2020 from an online sample of Croatian adolescents (N = 481) using snowball sampling. The study was part of the "We The Youth" project funded by the European Social Fund, and the measures used in the study comprised frequency of use of different media content and frequency of different leisure activities, as well as additional control variables. The data were analysed using a series of linear regressions and the results generally supported both hypotheses.},

On the other hand, given the positive relationship between social media use and community engagement, the authors also point to the need for a careful and nuanced understanding of technological determinism in this research field.},
