Media research is focused on studying communication as a broad societal phenomenon from a sociological perspective. This approach helps to understand human behavior, social relations, and societal structures influenced by networked communication. The research has a central focus on Portuguese society while also considering contemporary European societies and Lusophone regions.

From a sociological viewpoint, culture is studied at CIES across various interconnected areas including public policies, management and mediation, access, participation and audiences, and creative and cultural work.
