Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture covers a broad spectrum of theoretical approaches, concepts, and phenomena related to media change. At the level of media systems and structures, the regulatory, societal, and ethical implications of media change are addressed, revolving around developments such as platformization or algorithmization. At the level of organizations and processes, the role of new actors (e.g., influencers and other digital opinion leaders), changes in the production, aggregation, and distribution of media content (e.g., automation, botification), and innovative media formats (e.g., stories, podcasts, or deepfakes) are discussed. At the level of media users, we will address human-machine communication and trends such as chatbots or AI influencers and examine how they change media usage and impacts on individuals and social relationships. These phenomena are discussed using examples from various areas such as journalism, interpersonal communication, health communication, or political communication.
