Use of Slovenian media in the Slovenian diaspora of Vancouver

Magistrsko delo obravnava rabo, vlogo in vpliv slovenskih medijev pri kanadskih Slovencih v slovenski diaspori v Vancouvru. V okvir slovenskih medijev štejemo medije v slovenskem jeziku, ki imajo sedež tako v Sloveniji kot v tujini. Poudarek je predvsem na spletnih medijih in sodobni informacijsko-komunikacijski tehnologiji, ki presega časovno-prostorsko delovanje.

In this way, individuals in the diaspora are maintaining the collective identity
