Dear Benamara Soumia
The journal “MedieKultur” ISSN 1901-9726 (on their website also called "MedieKultur: Journal of Media and Communication Research”) is a legit and genuine journal. The good signs are:
-They charge no fee (so certainly not predatory)
-Member of DOAJ https://doaj.org/toc/1901-9726
-Scopus indexed https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21101046763
-SCImago https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=21101046763&tip=sid&clean=0 homepage link refer to https://tidsskrift.dk/mediekultur
So, a safe choice.
Best regards.
PS. They journal is not indexed in one of Clarivate’s indexes (ESCI, SCIE or SSCI) so no impact factor. But their Scopus indexing means that they do have a CiteScore which is internationally considered as a more or less comparable metric and equally valuable as an impact factor (varies per country though).
