#inspirationoftheday – semi-professioneller Fotojournalismus auf Instagram
Durch soziale Netzwerke wie Instagram stellen immer mehr semi-professionelle Akteure Inhalte bereit, die jenen in etablierten journalistischen Medien ähneln. Dies trifft insbesondere auf Lifestyle Journalismus zu, was viele Fragen aufwirft: Welche Inhalte werden wie auf Instagram aufbereitet? Welche journalistische Praktiken sind vorhanden? Lassen sich emanzipatorische Tendenzen feststellen? Wie wird mit gesponserten Inhalten umgegangen und welche Ähnlichkeiten lassen sich zum klassischen Lifestyle Journalismus ziehen?Die Übung beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie Entgrenzung im journalistisches Feld konzeptualisiert werden kann und will mittels Bildanalyse feststellen, inwieweit Instagram Influencer journalistische Praktiken nutzen.

In dieser KFOR-Übung soll analysiert werden, wie in der österreichischen Medienlandschaft mit Terrorismus und Radikalisierung umgegangen wird. Inwiefern wird eine „Kultur der Angst“ gefördert, welche Konsequenzen oder Lösungsansätze werden medial verbreitet? Lassen sich Medien dabei, bewusst oder unbewusst, von den Zielen und Botschaften von Terroristen instrumentalisieren oder tragen gar zu Radikalisierung bei? Welche Feindbilder und Stereotype werden hervorgehoben, und auf der anderen Seite: Welche deradikalisierenden Elemente gibt es in der diesbezüglichen Berichterstattung?
In dieser KFOR-Übung soll anhand einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse untersucht werden, in welcher Art und Weise die Berichterstattung dieser Thematik in Österreich vonstatten geht.ACHTUNG: Die Teilnahme am ersten LV-Termin ist unbedingte Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme an der LV.

Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will introduce key literature on journalistic role conceptions and how these have evolved over time, especially in response to changes brought about by the digital age and the increased proximity of audiences to journalistic work.Some of the questions this course will ask are:
• What do journalists think is their role in society?
• Do these role perceptions differ between traditional journalists and atypical journalistic actors (e.g. bloggers)?
• What further differences in role perceptions can we detect among journalists working in different forms of journalism, and non-western contexts?
• And lastly, what do audiences think is the role of journalists, and how might audiences be influencing journalistic role perceptions?While exploring these questions, you will also be exposed to the basics of qualitative research (e.g. interviews, focus groups) as an approach to studying role perceptions.Learning Outcomes:
• Familiarity with literature on journalistic role conceptions
• Ability to think critically about journalistic roles from various perspectives
• Ability to implement basic qualitative research tools
• Increased English language proficiency

Aims, contents and method of the course
This course covers key concepts related to the role of media use in populist movements in Western democracies. We will study these topics as a means to practice the basics of survey research in social science. The class is organized around three themes: (1) Media effects on populist attitudes and movements (2) The role of digital media and the Internet in the expression and diffusion of populist ideas, and (3) Basics of online survey execution and quantitative data analysis.Central questions this course addresses are: How have researchers defined populism? What is the role of news, propaganda, and social media in populist movements? How can we use online surveys as a tool for tracking media habits and populist sentiments in a particular population?Learning Outcomes
1. Intermediate knowledge of the major theoretical arguments for what constitutes populism as a political movement
2. Basic ability to develop a survey questionnaire, create an online survey, and interpret results with basic statistics
3. Answer a research question using an observational study, and understand the limits of this approach
4. Improved ability to read and write academic texts in EnglishCourse structure
The course will meet once a week. Our meetings will be a mix of lecture, discussion of readings and group exercises. In order to get the most out of class discussion, all the readings for a particular class should be finished before that meeting, and students must make every effort to attend class (this is also a University of Vienna requirement). I will take attendance (see below). You are also required to participate during group exercises. Learning from one another is the reason we are all here, so if you do not plan on participating in class, consider a different class.Language
All course work, correspondence with me, and all other matters of written or oral communication must be in English. It is OK if you are not fully comfortable speaking and writing in English (See #4 above). You cannot improve if you do not practice. I do not expect written work to be grammatically perfect, but it must be readable. If you need help, just ask!Attendance
*Attendance to the first class is mandatory. We will move fast over a lot of material every session. This course is based on continuous course assessment, and regular attendance is required to pass the class. Students are allowed 2 unexcused absences. After 2, you should provide a documented reason for absences. Since a major part of the grading is based on group work and class participation, it will not be possible to pass the class without regular attendance. If you cannot attend the class regularly (because of another class, work, or other regular scheduling conflict) dont sign up for the course.
Assessment and permitted materials
Measurement assignment/10%
Presentation on a reading/10%
Final research paper/30%
In class participation/10%There are several components of your final grade in this course:
1) Weekly reading response assignments (200 points): Throughout the course, we will be practicing basic concepts in communication theory and research. These include short responses and essays related to building online search proficiency, reading academic journal articles, and writing for communication research. There will be an assignment every week. Details will be provided in class.2) Measurement history exercise (50 points): Early in the semester you will write a brief summary of a survey measurement in public opinion and populist studies research. Assignment details will be covered in class. Hand in your summary and a PDF copy of the article via the class website at: https://moodle.univie.ac.at.3) Presentation on a reading (50 points): On the first day of class, you will sign-up to help present the readings for one class period. For that week, you will be the class expert on those readings. Working in groups of no more than 4, groups summarize the key issues and questions, and help facilitate class discussion. Details will be discussed in class.4) Final research article (150 points): Final research papers will be group projects (2-4 people) where you answer an original research question or hypothesis. Papers should be comprised of 3 basic elements: a literature review with hypothesis or research question that introduces the reader to your topic and tells us why it matters for the news, populist attitudes and politics (3-6 pages), a methods and results section that discusses your survey parameters, reliability numbers, and basic statistical results (3-4 pages), and finally, discussion section that puts your results into context (3-4 pages). You will submit your topics for review early in the semester.5) Participation (50 points): Since much of the class relies on discussion and group exercises, it is important that you come to class prepared to interact with others. The readings and shorter course assignments will be fairly light. I do not expect you to spend more than a total of 4 ECTS credits (100 hours) on this course throughout the semester. The readings can be difficult, but they are short. Read, come to class with questions, and be ready to contribute.Grading
A total of 500 points are available. I will use the point system to determine your final number grade following the University of Vienna grading criteria:
450-500 = 1; 400-449 = 2; 350-399 = 3; 300-349 = 4; < 299 = 5Late work/missed assignments
Some work cannot be late because the class meeting for that day depends on your contribution. Thus, on the weeks you have signed up to present on the readings, you must be prepared and present to receive credit. In general, you will lose one number grade if you fail to hand an assignment in when due (e.g. a 1 paper will automatically become a 2 paper). Please note that for the final paper, late papers will not be accepted except in cases of exceptional circumstances.Plagiarism
Presenting the work of others without proper credit or citation will result in an automatic 5 on the assignment and a nicht beurteilt in the class. No excuses. Plagiarism is against university rules. It is unacceptable in both professional and academic settings. This includes stealing the words and ideas of others, copy and pasting without attribution, and turning in someone elses work as your own. I will check final papers for stolen content using an online tool. Do not do it. Also see http://www.plagiarism.org/
