The works in this collection were selected among the articles presented in the eight thematic divisions of Intercom Junior, at the 41st Brazilian Congress of Communication Sciences, hosted by Univille from September 2nd to 8th, 2018. With the theme “Inequalities, genres and communication”, Intercom 2018 posed an urgent and necessary debate, even more relevant in a scenario of difficulties in open dialogue due to growing ideological polarization. All this reinforces the need for connections between the media and society as a whole, around the many inequalities and vulnerabilities that cross the condition of a large part of Brazilian society. To look at inequalities is to look at the diversity of conditions and ways of living.
