Nationalizing the “refugee crisis”
This comparative study examines framing of migration-related stories (focused on media coverage of World Refugee Day [WRD]) between four countries, and framing developments over 18 years, specifically if (and how) the 2015 peak “refugee crisis” altered news coverage of refugee issues. Elite newspapers, the New York Times (USA), the Times of India, Sueddeutsche Zeitung (Germany) and Haaretz (Israel) were content analyzed. Newspapers gave only spar…
Jokers or Journalists? A Study of Satirists’ Motivations, Role Orientations, and Understanding of Satire
This study contributes to recent discussions about the role of satire in public communication. We conducted qualitative expert interviews with 13 satirists in Germany to explore their understanding of satire, their motivations and role orientations as well as their perceptions of satire in relation to journalism and the factors they perceive to influence their role performances. The findings indicate that satirists perceive their business to be m…
Journalistic YouTubers and Their Role Orientations, Strategies, and Professionalization Tendencies
By focusing on journalistic YouTubers, this interview study investigates journalism on social media and how new digital actors on the periphery of journalism complement or compete with newsroom journalism. More specifically, the study examines journalistic YouTubers’ motivations and role orientations, work process perceptions in relation to network media logic and the modernization of journalism, and professionalization experiences on YouTube. In…
The “refugee crisis” as an opportunity structure for right-wing populist social movements
Current research on right-wing populist communication is often confined to political parties, with social movements receiving much less attention. To help fill this research gap, we examine the frames and master frames of the PEGIDA movement and the role of the 2015 “refugee crisis” in shaping them. Using qualitative content analysis of speeches held at PEGIDA rallies between 2014 and 2016, we identify two distinct master frames, each consisting …
No government mouthpieces
This study investigates the German media’s framing of the 2015–2016 “migration crisis” and their support and criticism of the initial open-door policy. A standardized content analysis examines changes in media frames following the key event of assaults on New Year’s Eve (NYE) 2015. It is analyzed how changes in coverage differed between public broadcasting news and infotainment formats (talk and satirical shows) and how they were related to gover…
Different shows, different stories
In a complex information environment, the Ukraine crisis became a litmus test for the German government’s capacity to legitimate its international crisis management in Ukraine and in confrontations with Russia. This study investigates crisis coverage in the pluralized German television system and how it is shaped by trends of infotainment and globalization. It asks how different TV formats framed the Ukraine crisis and challenged or approved gove…
Satirizing international crises. The depiction of the Ukraine, Greek debt, and migration crises in political satire
In international crises, the media’s information and orientation function is particularly important in the public sphere. While the news media’s crisis coverage has been well researched and often criticized, very little is known about the depiction of crises in political satire. This study examines how German satirical shows (n = 154 episodes, 2014–2016) covered the Ukraine, Greek debt, and migration crises and whether or not these depictions cor…
Lost in uncertainty
The Euro crisis has revealed severe conflicts between EU member states and challenged a shared European identity. This article investigates how the crisis was reflected in identity constructions in media discourses in EU key countries. European identity construction is conceptualized as framing of the EU in favour or against belonging to the EU and togetherness with other members. Conducting a systematic content analysis of two weekly newspapers …
Framing the Ukraine crisis
This article examines the framing of the Ukraine crisis in German and Russian television political talk shows. Informed by peace journalism and constructive journalism, it investigates how Russian and German shows frame the Ukraine crisis and to what extent constructive and destructive frames are used.

Informativ und kritisch? Die Politikdarstellung in deutschen Satiresendungen

Mit Blick auf die Bereitstellung politischer Informationen und die Vermittlung von Orientierung durch Kritik wird nach der Politikdarstellung in deutschen TV-Satiresendungen gefragt. Eine quantitative In…
