Book excerpt: Essay aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Individuum, Gruppe, Gesellschaft, Note: 2,0, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Aus- und Wechselwirkungen des Internets mit der Öffentlichkeit werden heutzutage intensiv erforscht. Doch wie sieht es aus, wenn angenommen wird, dass das Internet eine eigene Öffentlichkeit herausbildet? Welche Rolle spielen dabei Informationsvermittlung, Politik und Diskussion? Aufgrund dieser Fragen wurde die These aufgestellt, dass diese zweite Form der Öffentlichkeit bereits existiert. Zudem wirft sie neue Fragen auf: Was hat Online-Partizipation mit der gesellschaftlichen Öffentlichkeit zu tun, gibt es Wechselwirkungen und wenn ja, welche? Was ist in diesem Zusammenhang überhaupt unter Partizipation und Öffentlichkeit zu verstehen? Um diese Fragen zu klären, bedarf es vorerst einer Definition der wichtigsten Begriffe. Diese führt schließlich zur Kernfrage, ob online und offline dieselbe Art der Öffentlichkeit stattfindet und was diese beiden Arten unterscheidet. Warum haben wir nun eine neue Art der Öffentlichkeit in Folge des Internets? Information wird heutzutage über viele Kanäle vermittelt, Diskurs findet hingegen vor allem online statt, da Printmedien, Radio und Fernsehen vor allem Produzenten von Nachrichten sind und weniger der Hörer, Zuschauer beziehungsweise Leser eingebunden wird. All diese Definitionen und Merkmale der aktuellen Öffentlichkeit lassen erahnen, dass sich ihr Begriff in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt hat. Es ist ein neuer Begriff der Öffentlichkeit entstanden, der vor allem mit Partizipation verknüpft ist. Diese Art der Partizipation findet in einem großen Rahmen online statt. Welche Zusammenhänge ergeben sich daraus mit der nicht-digitalen Öffentlichkeit, der Gesellschaft?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Medien und Politik, Pol. Kommunikation, Note: 2,0, Universität Bremen (Institut für historische Publizistik, Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Medienwandel, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Der Rundfunk ist aus einem Distributionsapparat in einen Kommunikationsapparat zu verwandeln. Der Rundfunk wäre der denkbar großartigste Kommunikationsapparat des öffentlichen Lebens, ein ungeheures Kanalsystem, d.h., er würde es, wenn er es verstünde, nicht nur auszusenden, sondern auch zu empfangen, also den Zuhörer nicht nur hören, sondern auch sprechen zu machen und ihn nicht zu isolieren, sondern ihn in Beziehung zu setzen. Der Rundfunk müßte demnach aus dem Lieferantentum herausgehen und den Hörer als Lieferanten organisieren." (Brecht 1967 [1932]; zitiert nach Roesler/Stiegler 2005: 219) Diese Überlegungen bezüglich des Potenzials von Rundfunk, den Hörer aktiv in die Produktion von Inhalten einzubinden, damit der Hörer auch über das Radio kommunizieren kann, um in Gespräche und Debatten einbezogen zu werden, stellte Bertolt Brecht bereits vor 80 Jahren. Er erkannte in dieser damals neuen Form der öffentlichen Kommunikation ungeahnte Möglichkeiten, dem Normalbürger in gesellschaftliche Fragestellungen einzubeziehen, statt ihn lediglich mit Inhalten zu versorgen. Heute wissen wir, dass diese Vor-stellungen utopisch waren und diese Form der Integration des Bürgers lediglich in Bürgerradios mit recht geringer Reichweite realisiert wurde. Heute wissen wir aber auch, dass sich die Medien seitdem enorm gewandelt haben und es mit dem Internet mittlerweile ein Medium gibt, mit dessen Hilfe Normalbürger mit weit weniger Aufwand ihre Positionen und Ansichten der Öffentlichkeit vermitteln können. Mit der Verbreitung digitaler Medien und der weltweiten Vernetzung durch das Internet bis hin zur Entwicklung der Sozialen Medien waren vor allem am Anhang Hoffnungen verbunden, die der Vorstellung Brechts sehr nahe kamen. Vom „Abbau von Informationsungleichheiten und der Belebung von demokratischer Diskurse“ (Schmidt 2012: 4) und von der Annahme „das Internet erweitere und erneure die politische Bildung“ (Emmer/Vowe 2004: 192) war die Rede, ebenso davon, dass die Verbreitung des Web in der Lage wäre „den Dialog der Bürger untereinander zu fördern [...]. Es sollte dadurch eine Mobilisierung bislang unterrepräsentierter oder nicht engagierter Bevölkerungsteile erreich[t werden], die sich online in politische Prozesse einbringen können“ (Schmidt 2006: 140).

Download or read book Privacy Online written by Sabine Trepte and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communications and personal information that are posted online are usually accessible to a vast number of people. Yet when personal data exist online, they may be searched, reproduced and mined by advertisers, merchants, service providers or even stalkers. Many users know what may happen to their information, while at the same time they act as though their data are private or intimate. They expect their privacy will not be infringed while they willingly share personal information with the world via social network sites, blogs, and in online communities. The chapters collected by Trepte and Reinecke address questions arising from this disparity that has often been referred to as the privacy paradox. Works by renowned researchers from various disciplines including psychology, communication, sociology, and information science, offer new theoretical models on the functioning of online intimacy and public accessibility, and propose novel ideas on the how and why of online privacy. The contributing authors offer intriguing solutions for some of the most pressing issues and problems in the field of online privacy. They investigate how users abandon privacy to enhance social capital and to generate different kinds of benefits. They argue that trust and authenticity characterize the uses of social network sites. They explore how privacy needs affect users’ virtual identities. Ethical issues of privacy online are discussed as well as its gratifications and users’ concerns. The contributors of this volume focus on the privacy needs and behaviors of a variety of different groups of social media users such as young adults, older users, and genders. They also examine privacy in the context of particular online services such as social network sites, mobile internet access, online journalism, blogs, and micro-blogs. In sum, this book offers researchers and students working on issues related to internet communication not only a thorough and up-to-date treatment of online privacy and the social web. It also presents a glimpse of the future by exploring emergent issues concerning new technological applications and by suggesting theory-based research agendas that can guide inquiry beyond the current forms of social technologies.

Download or read book Bastard Culture written by Mirko Tobias Schäfer and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The computer and particularly the Internet have been represented as enabling technologies, turning consumers into users and users into producers. The unfolding online cultural production by users has been framed enthusiastically as participatory culture. But while many studies of user activities and the use of the Internet tend to romanticize emerging media practices, this book steps beyond the usual framework and analyzes user participation in the context of accompanying popular and scholarly discourse, as well as the material aspects of design, and their relation to the practices of design and appropriation.

Download or read book Communicating Corporate Social Responsibility in the Digital Era written by Adam Lindgreen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although literature on corporate social responsibility is vast, research into the use and effectiveness of various communications through digital platforms about such corporate responsibility is scarce. This gap is surprising; communicating about corporate social responsibility initiatives is vital to organizations that increasingly highlight their corporate social responsibility initiatives to position their corporate brands for both consumers and other stakeholders. Yet these organizations still sometimes rely on traditional methods to communicate, or even decide against communicating at all, because they fear triggering stakeholders’ skepticism or cynicism. A systematic, interdisciplinary examination of corporate social responsibility communication through digital platforms therefore is necessary, to establish an essential definition and up-to-date picture of the field. This research anthology addresses the above objectives. Drawing on marketing, management, and communication disciplines, among others, this anthology examines how organizations construct, implement, and use digital platforms to communicate about their corporate social responsibility and thereby achieve their organizational goals. The 21 chapters in this anthology reflect six main topic sections: Challenges and opportunities for communicating corporate social responsibility through digital platforms. Moving toward symmetry and interactivity in digital corporate social responsibility communication. Fostering stakeholder engagement in and through digital corporate social responsibility communication. Leveraging effective digital corporate social responsibility communication. Digital activism and corporate social responsibility. Digital methodologies and corporate social responsibility.

Download or read book Politik in der Mediendemokratie written by Frank Marcinkowski and published by Politische Vierteljahresschrift Sonderhefte. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Rolle der Massenmedien im politischen Prozess demokratischer Staaten ist seit einigen Jahren einem grundlegenden Wandel unterworfen. Presse, Hörfunk und Fernsehen wurden lange Zeit als weitgehend passive Vermittlungsinstanzen wahr genommen, die den Publizitätsinteressen demokratischer Politik in einer primär „dienenden“ Funktion gegenüber treten. Seit den 1990er Jahren werden die Massenmedien auch in den europäischen Demokratien als zunehmend „eigenmächtige“ Akteure und folgenreich institutionalisierter Handlungskontext demokratischer Politikherstellung erkennbar. Manche Autoren sprechen von der Entwicklung regelrechter „Mediendemokratien“. Dieser PVS-Sonderband bietet eine umfassende Bestandsaufnahme der Problemdiagnosen, Zustandsbeschreibungen und Wirkungsanalysen rund um die Mediendemokratie. Die Beiträge bilanzieren den Forschungsstand in einzelnen Bereichen der Politikwissenschaft einerseits und zeigen andererseits Fragestellungen und Perspektiven für künftige Forschungsbemühungen auf.

Download or read book Alternative Journalism written by Chris Atton and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2008-11-20 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A provocative, inspiring and challenging intervention in both journalism and media studies.... Alternative Journalism is that rare book that services students as much as scholars. It widens the trajectory of media studies and creates different modes of reading, writing and thinking... It offers an alternative history beyond the tales of great men, great newspapers, great editors and great technologies. It adds value and content to overused and ambiguous words such as "community" and "citizenship" and captures the spark of new information environments." - THE, (Times Higher Education) Alternative Journalism investigates and analyses the diverse forms and genres of journalism that have arisen as challenges to mainstream news coverage. From the radical content of emancipatory media to the dizzying range of citizen journalist blogs and fanzine subcultures, this book charts the historical and cultural practices of this diverse and globalized phenomenon. This exploration goes to the heart of journalism itself, prompting a critical inquiry into the epistemology of news, the professional norms of objectivity, the elite basis of journalism and the hierarchical commerce of news production. In investigating the challenges to media power presented by alternative journalism, Atton addresses not just the issues of politics and empowerment but also the journalism of popular culture and the everyday. The result is essential reading for students of journalism - both mainstream and alternative.

Download or read book Digital Media Political Polarization and Challenges to Democracy written by Maren Beaufort and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the interplay between social media, political polarization, and civic engagement, focusing on countries with differing media environments, cultural specifics, and degrees of democratization. Taken from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and based on innovative theoretical interventions and empirically grounded research, the contributions to this volume share a common aspiration to understand the democratic character of the new, and thus far largely unknown, media regime. Such a regime has the potential to both enhance and undermine democracy, in a time where the vulnerability of democracy is more obvious than ever before. Featuring research from the USA, Western Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, this book will be of interest to those studying recent political events in these regions, as well as to those scholars of media studies whose research focuses on the inter-relation of politics, communication and the media. This book was originally published as a special issue of Information, Communication & Society.

Delivering a detailed assessment of democratic reform, this book will of strong interest to students and researchers of political theory, democracy and comparative politics.

Download or read book Privacy Due Process and the Computational Turn written by Mireille Hildebrandt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privacy, Due process and the Computational Turn: The Philosophy of Law Meets the Philosophy of Technology engages with the rapidly developing computational aspects of our world including data mining, behavioural advertising, iGovernment, profiling for intelligence, customer relationship management, smart search engines, personalized news feeds, and so on in order to consider their implications for the assumptions on which our legal framework has been built. The contributions to this volume focus on the issue of privacy, which is often equated with data privacy and data security, location privacy, anonymity, pseudonymity, unobservability, and unlinkability. Here, however, the extent to which predictive and other types of data analytics operate in ways that may or may not violate privacy is rigorously taken up, both technologically and legally, in order to open up new possibilities for considering, and contesting, how we are increasingly being correlated and categorizedin relationship with due process – the right to contest how the profiling systems are categorizing and deciding about us.
