Aims, contents and method of the course
Die Beobachtung anderer Personen, ist eine der wichtigsten Arten wie wir Verhalten und Einstellungen erlernen. Zu sehen, wie ein bestimmtes Verhalten einer Person Vorteile bringt oder ihr schadet, beeinflusst unsere Bereitschaft dieses Verhalten selbst durchzuführen.
Dies trifft auch auf Medieninhalte zu.
Doch beeinflusst jedes Modell uns gleichermaßen? Dieses Seminar beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob Konsequenzen die von einem medialen Modell durchlebt werden, zu dem der Seher bereits eine Beziehung aufgebaut hat, diesen stärker beeinflusst als ein unbekanntes Modell.
TV-Serien dienen als Grundlage, da durch die regelmäßige Konfrontation mit denselben Charakteren, Seher Beziehungen aufbauen können. Ein Fokus wird gelegt auf die Konsequenzen von Alkoholkonsum, da Alkohol in den Medien omnipräsent ist, trotz seiner negativen gesellschaftlichen Folgen.

Die Phänomene Radikalisierung und Terror bestimmen in großer Regelmäßigkeit die aktuellen Schlagzeilen. In dieser KFOR-Übung soll analysiert werden, wie in der österreichischen Medienlandschaft mit diesen Problemfeldern 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 covers key concepts related to digital methods in communication and journalism studies. We will explore basic concepts related to computing, data management, web applications for storytelling, and data visualization. The class is organized around three themes: (1) Computer literacy for academic research and content production; (2) Application of tools for data collection and analysis for creating bar carts, maps, word clouds, and social media analysis; (3) Theoretical and social implications for research, journalism, and society.Central questions this course addresses are: How are computers changing the way information is produced, shared, and stored in society? How are data-driven methodologies, and in particular concepts like “big data”, shaping research design in the areas of communication and journalism research? How do we identify and use free and open-sourced tools for data analysis and visualization?Learning Outcomes
1. A basic level of knowledge of how computers use code to access, build, and store data. This includes introductory knowledge of how computers work, and how data was processed in the past. This will prepare students for exercises later in the semester that may require rudimentary commands, options, or enabled features when uploading and presenting data.2. Basic understanding of the emerging research methods that are changing communication and journalism studies.3. Intermediate knowledge of web applications for collecting and presenting information.4. Improved ability to conduct college-level research projects for a future Master thesis or Bachelor project.5. The ability to solve problems in a group environment and work with other students from diverse backgrounds.6. 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.
Assessment and permitted materials
Weekly assignments 40%
Article Review Assignment 10%
*Presentation on a research tool 10%
*Final research paper 30%
*In class participation 10%
*Indicates group workThere are several components of your final grade in this course:
1) Weekly reading response assignments (200 points): Throughout the course, we will be exploring basic concepts related to the role of computers in communication theory and research. These include short responses and exercises related to building proficiency in academic research methods. There will be an assignment every week. Details will be provided in class.2) Article review assignment (50 points): Early in the semester you will write a brief summary of a research article that applies a new method in communication and journalism studies. 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 tool (50 points): Early in the class, you will sign-up to help present a web-based application for data collection and/or visualization. For that week, you will be the class “expert” on that area. Working in groups of no more than 4, groups summarize the key issues and questions, and help facilitate a class exercise. 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. 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 (3-6 pages), a methods and results section that discusses your chosen tool in depth and offers at least 3 visualizations (3-4 pages), and finally, a 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 days 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 else’s work as your own. I will check final papers for stolen content using an online tool. Don’t do it. Also see http://www.plagiarism.org/
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
All course work, correspondence with me, and all other matters of written or oral communication must be in English. It’s OK if you are not fully comfortable speaking and writing in English (See #6 above). I do not expect written work to be grammatically perfect, but it must be readable. If you need help, the University of Vienna offers several options for non-native German and English speakers.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) don’t sign up for the course.Computers
Access to a computer is essential for most assignments in class. We will discuss options for holding computer lab hours later in the semester. Please contact me if you need help acquiring access to a reliable computer with Internet access.

This course will introduce key literature on journalistic role conceptions and how these have evolved in response to changes brought about by the digital age and the increased proximity of audiences to journalistic work. Thanks to technological innovations journalists and audiences can now interact through different social media tools in unprecedented ways. How journalists’ understanding of their role in society may be changing in response to this interaction is what this course will explore.Some of the questions this course will ask are:
• What do journalists think is their role in society?
• Do these role conceptions differ between traditional journalists and atypical journalistic actors (e.g. bloggers)?
• What further differences in role conceptions 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 conceptions?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 conceptions.Learning Outcomes:
• Familiarity with literature on journalistic role conceptions
• Ability to think and write analytically and critically about journalistic roles from various perspectives
• Ability to develop and implement basic qualitative research tools (e.g. interview guide)
• Increased English-language proficiency
