Abstract

In today’s world, innovation is an engine of media growth and media culture. The new media – electronic, internet, mobile, pervasive, ubiquitous and embedded – especially is transforming the everyday life of users and creating a new culture of everyday life: mediatised, technologised, which, thanks to these qualities, is also diverse and dynamic. The problem, which in this context requires consideration, concerns the nature of innovation and its impact on the users. The question is whether, and how, new media users become participants in the innovation culture. Whether and how do they create innovation? How do they implement innovation in their everyday lives? And what are the consequences of the so-called “media effects”? The answers to the above questions are possible by analysing specific cases of media innovations. The determinants of the culture of innovative prosumption are identified by an analysis of the everyday life practices of new media users. The innovative use of new media and cases of innovative solutions, in which media play a key role, are analysed. The context of increased user expectations towards innovation and active participation is specified. This enabled the importance of media prosumption innovation to be determined.
