The articulation of Britishness on German screens: From Barnaby to Bridgerton
This study examines the articulation of Britishness to young German audiences through crime and period dramas, as well as the role Britishness occupies within their marketing strategies. Employing textual, genre, and promotional analyses of Midsomer Murders, Sherlock, Killing Eve, Downton Abbey, Peaky Blinders , and Bridgerton , Britishness is conceptualised as a fluid, genre-specific signifier within transnational cultural exchange and as a prom…
Algorithmic Media: Shifting Agency, Content and Everyday Uses
In times of digitalisation and algorithmic media, our daily lives are saturated and permeated by communication media; they are characterised by processes of 'deep mediatization' (Hepp et al., 2018).This process impacts questions of agency, modes and possibilities of content creation and everyday practices and uses of media.It has, as a result, an impact on our cultural and societal practices as a whole (Krotz, 2009).Every user of the internet and…
Praktiken des Widersprechens in vernetzten Öffentlichkeiten: Theorieentwurf und Forschungsheuristik
Rezente Transformationen von Öffentlichkeiten fordern die kommunikationswissenschaftliche Theoriebildung und Forschung heraus. Dieser Beitrag rückt Praktiken des Widersprechens in den Fokus, denn in vernetzten Öffentlichkeiten haben sich deren Modi weiterentwickelt und diversifiziert – und die Folgen sind mitunter paradox: Widersprechen erzeugt hochvolatile, von Polyvokalität und Ungleichheit geprägte Öffentlichkeiten. Diese sind u. a. durch das …
Curation as methodological enhancement in researching production cultures behind screen content about displaced children in Europe
This paper starts from the premise that research into how producers negotiate issues of diversity and multicultural content in Europe is rare and mostly relies on interviews and documents, and furthermore work on understanding those negotiation processes in relation to children’s screen content is even rarer. The article seeks to reflect critically on an alternative hybrid research method, which aims to open up a space for dialogue about producti…

This article explores the strategies for fictional content of the Danish children's channel DR Ultra through a qualitative case study of the production framework behind its successful series Klassen (2016-now). Building on studies of television production and theories of co-creation, the analysis investigates the use of co-creative initiatives during the development and writing as well as the production of programmes.

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda: Young Swiss audiences' attitudes, expectations and evaluations of audiovisual news and information content and the implications for public service television
Public service media (PSM) are still seen in most European countries as a core means of informing citizens of all ages. Nevertheless, PSM struggle to reach young audiences, who are often characterised as news-avoidant or news-deprived. This article asks what meaning the news and information offered by PSM have for young people. The qualitative study describes young people's attitudes and expectations regarding audiovisual news and information con…
The platformisation of public service broadcasting in Germany: The network 'funk' and the case of Druck/Skam Germany
This article investigates how platformisation changes the practices of content production and distribution through the case of the web series, Druck (tr. Pressure (2018-), for the public service content network 'funk' (ARD and ZDF). An analysis of the German adaptation of the Norwegian television and web series Skam (tr. Shame) (NRK3, 2015-2017) shows how public service broadcasting (PSB) in Germany is changing due to the influence of social medi…
Youthification' of drama through real-time storytelling: A production study of blank and the legacy of SKAM
This article explores the 'youthification' of television through real-time storytelling. It draws on a study of the online youth drama blank (2018-2019), NRK's first follow-up after the hit show SKAM (2015-2017). It finds that real-time drama brings unique opportunities to broadcasters aiming to reconnect with younger audiences, but also substantial challenges. This insight is essential, as previous studies have highlighted the format's advantage…

Generation Z's screen culture: Understanding younger users' behaviour in the television streaming age - The case of post-crisis Greece
Post-crisis Greece is experiencing dynamic audiovisual market growth, faster than the EU average. As Greek TV responds to the challenges of the streaming era, new paths are forged by young viewers/users. This article, based on a survey of nearly 1,000 students, attempts to characterise the viewing patterns of young audiences, who are early adopters and heavy consumers of streaming television. We argue that whereas young Greek media users favour s…
The 'youthification' of television
In our contemporary age, defined profoundly by convergence and digitalisation, how has television spread across different platforms and varied screens to attract and engage young audiences, children and youth?Typically, this demographic has been seen as hard to reach, especially by older, more established media like public service broadcasters and other news providers.Young people are increasingly moving away from traditional broadcast television…
Exclusion
The theme of exclusion emerged at the IAMCR conference 2019 in Oregon, where we* hosted several panels that dealt with either the welcomed potential of the Web to help excluded groups to be heard and seen (e.g. #metoo online activism), or with negative exclusion and ostracising effects of media—such as hate speech on social media, strategies of “othering” in newspapers or “symbolic annihilation” (Tuchmann) on screens. In their special issue of Me…
