Soft Presentation of Hard News? A Content Analysis of Political Facebook Posts
The current media environment is primarily characterised by a large amount of information and, in contrast, rather fragmented audience attention. This is especially true for social media, particularly Facebook, which have become important news sources for many people. Journalists cannot help but publish content on Facebook if they want to reach the part of their audience that mainly—or even only—consumes news there. On Facebook, journalists are a…
Uneasy Bedfellows: Comparing the diversity of German public service news on television and on Facebook
News consumption has shifted increasingly to new platforms and gateways such as social network sites (SNS) with Facebook leading the way. Accordingly, journalists must cope with this “uneasy bedfellow” and provide news on Facebook to attract otherwise hard-to-reach audiences. This is even more relevant for public service broadcasters (PSBs), whose mission is to serve the interests and needs of every citizen. Bound to their public service mission,…
The search for order in a disorderly world: Worldviews and Prescriptive Decision Paradigms
All prescriptive decision-making epistemologies are rooted in worldviews.

Unity in Diversity”: Cultural Autonomy or Pan-Culture
Human nature and truth as world order issues
Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and the end of political education,” wrote Henry Adams. But human beings have never been able to agree on what constitutes “knowledge” of human nature and what excessively negative or naively wishful thinking about it. Because we differ in our conceptions of who we are, difficulties exist in agreeing upon what is a fit society and the methods appropriate and necessary for bringing it into being. Conflict…
Conceptions of the individual in the world order models project (Womp) literature
At least three theories of man and social reality can be abstracted from the World Order Models Project (WOMP) literature. The leading concepts in what I call the Anti‐Political theory (von Weizsäcker) are Truth and Love. The Individual type needed to bring about and preserve a world order resonating these values is the Saint. The leading concepts in the Apolitical theory (Falk, Mazrui, Sakamoto) are Consensus and Enlightened Self‐Interest. The i…
