Freedom of the media, pluralism, and transparency. European media policy on new paths
Although the European Union has been pursuing media policy for decades, its legal competence for the media sector remains limited. Since its inception in the 1980s, the EU had to base its media policy on its responsibility to enforce the internal market and the direct application of competition law, which has led to a one-sided economic perspective on the media. With references to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, the enshrinement of European…

The kiss of death. Public service media under right-wing populist attack
With the surge of populism in Europe, public service broadcasting has come under increased pressure. The established media are considered part of the corrupt elite not serving the interests of the people. The public service media, for which pluralism is at the core of their remit, are a particular thorn in the side of the populists. Therefore, they attack the financial basis of public service, which is supposed to guarantee their independence. Th…
Comparative media research
Jay Blumler was "a pioneer in comparative media research", writes Curran (2015: 208) in his contribution to the Festschrift published on the occasion of Blumler's 90th birthday in 2014.In fact, Blumler's biography provided the best prerequisites for this pioneering role.The experience of the US broadcasting system, commercially oriented since the emergence of radio, and of the West European tradition of public service broadcasting, for which the …

Through the Party Lens
Party affiliation is considered one of the most important factors explaining voters' party choice, but also a strong intervening variable when it comes to the effectiveness of electoral advertising. The question raised in this study is to what extent party affiliation explains voters' judgments of electoral advertising, which was investigated by using data carried out during the Swedish general election campaign 2010. The results show that party …
The personalization of politics in comparative perspective
In the last few decades personalization has been identified as a defining trend of contemporary political communication. The empirical evidence, however, is mixed and there are very few studies that explore more than a single-case study. This article investigates media personalization in comparative perspective by analysing the press coverage of recent general elections in Germany (2009) and the United Kingdom (2010). Was the reporting in both ca…

Falsche (Vor)Bilder? Frauen und Männer in der Werbung
Jahr für Jahr verzeichnet der Deutsche Werberat, das Selbstkontrollorgan der deutschen Werbewirtschaft, zahlreiche Beschwerden wegen Diskriminierung und Herabwürdigung von Frauen. Seit Jahren steht dieser Vorwurf an erster Stelle bei den Beschwerden, die den Werberat erreichen. Im Jahr 2009 gingen beim Werberat insgesamt 584 Beschwerden ein, 146 davon reklamierten eine Form der Diskriminierung. 90 Werbeaktivitäten gerieten in die Kritik wegen ein…
Communicating Governments
Various studies have attempted to conceptualize and assess professionalization of political communication from different perspectives. This article examines the professionalization of central government communication in Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom, applying a framework developed using indicators derived from the sociology of work and from the strategic planning and quality literature. Results show that there are clear indices of the de…
"Wir haben mehr zu bieten". Die Plakatkampagnen zu Europa- und Bundestagswahl
Die Wahlplakate von heute, so Manfred Hagen (1984, S. 49), seien "nur blasse Nachkommen einer fast ein Jahrhundert lang blühenden, äußerst mannigfaltigen und oft aussagestarken Propagandaform". Ganz Unrecht hat er mit dieser Einschätzung sicher nicht. Nicht zufällig werden Zeitungsanzeigen oder Fernsehspots von politischen Parteien eher selten gesammelt, während Wahlplakate nicht nur aus dokumentarischen, sondern auch aus ästhetischen Gründen res…

Europawahl 2004
Obwohl das Europäische Parlament das einzige EU-Organ mit unmittelbarer demokratischer Legitimation darstellt, ist es bis heute nicht gelungen, die Europawahl als ein wichtiges Ereignis im Bewusstsein der europäischen Wählerschaft zu verankern. Europawahlen gelten nach wie vor als Second-order elections, und zwar nicht nur im Bewußtsein der Wählerinnen und Wähler, sondern auch bei den politischen Akteuren und den Medien, und diese beeinflussen si…
To the Advantage of the Big Parties but They Seem to Lose Interest—TV Advertising During the 2002 German National Election Campaign
Since the introduction of commercial broadcasting in Germany during the 1980s, parties are allowed to purchase airtime in addition to the free airtime they receive on public channels. This has led to an increasing disadvantage for the smaller parties. In addition to the fact that a graded system of allocation of airtime is applied for ads on public TV and small parties receive fewer slots than their big competitors, they cannot afford to buy extr…

Kampagnen politischer Kommunikation
Bis heute ist Wahlforschung zuallererst Wählerverhaltensforschung.

Diese Untersuchung, zusammen mit der Nachfolgestudie Voting von Berelson, Lazarsfeld und McPhee (1954), begründete zugleich den soziologischen Ansatz zur Erklärung von Wählerverhalten.

Personalisation in Dutch and German Politics
Personal qualities of politicians play an ever more important role in present-day politics. This trend is usually defined as “personalisation,” which we take in this study to consist of a complex interplay between personal characteristics of politicians and their mediation through various institutional practices, such as campaign strategies and media coverage, from which voters will build their perceptions of politicians. In this study the person…
Professionalization of Political Communication
Americanization of Western European election campaigns has frequently been discussed, particularly in the media, but rarely defined. This article argues that the concept of professionalization better encompasses the process of change that can be observed in electoral communication. Professionalization is here regarded as a process by which the political actors adapt their strategies to changes in society and in the political system as well as to …

Political Television Advertising in Western Democracies
This study describes and compares political broadcasts by candidates and parties in recent national elections in Germany (1990), the United States (1988), and France (1988). Comparisons encompass verbal content, nonverbal content, and television production techniques of advertisements. Issue content dominated French ads and often American ads as well; German spots were more likely to concentrate on party and candidate images. French broadcasts we…
Videomalaise Revisited
The concept of `videomalaise' was first used in America in the 1970s to describe the dual phenomenon of a loss of trust in political institutions and individuals' increasing reliance on television as a means of obtaining political information. Could it be that the particular features of political programming caused political malaise? Using West German survey data, the research presented here tests the validity of the videomalaise thesis. No conne…

Audience Reactions to Televised Political Programs
This paper reports the results of an experiment conducted during the December 1990 German national election. The design involved exposure of subjects in western (Hannover and Munich) and eastern (Leipzig) Germany to the television spots of the two major German national parties (the CDU and SPD) and pre-test/post-test measures of responses to party leaders as a result of spot viewing. Results indicated that viewing the television spots created a m…

Wahlspots im Fernsehen
Die Werbespots der Parteien sind eines der wichtigsten Mittel der Wahlkampagne im Fernsehen: die Spots werden von den Parteien selbst produziert, sie können daher die Themen bestimmen, die so in die Öffentlichkeit gebracht werden, und sie können das Image ihrer Kandidaten so gestalten, wie sie es verbreitet sehen möchten. Die kurzen Sendungen »Parteien zur Wahl« erreichen beträchtliche Einschaltquoten. CDU-Wahlkampfmanager Peter Radunski (1980; 1…

In den Vereinigten Staaten wird den Wahlspots, für die die Kandidaten Sendezeit im Fernsehen kaufen können, schon lange eine wichtige Rolle in Wahlkämpfen zuerkannt.

Mittlerweile liegen dort zahlreiche Ergebnisse über die Inhalte und die Gestaltung sowie über die Wirkungen der Spots vor, in den letzten Jahren wächst vor allem die L…
