Staging Political Authenticity
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 …
Political Populism
All over Europe, we are currently witnessing populist political parties and figures enjoying success in elections and mobilising the electorate against the supposed elite. The most recent example of this political development is the Brexit campaign in the UK, which demonstrated that populists can exert considerable influence over political decisions. Populist parties are also enjoying election successes outside Europe; this phenomenon has been oc…

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…

To Entertain, Inform, and Educate
The introduction of commercial television in West European countries during the 1980s was accompanied by a fierce discussion about the consequences of ending the monopoly of public broadcasting. While proponents of market liberation argued that the outcome would produce greater diversity of contents and audiences, opponents feared negative consequences from this development. Against this background, the study reported here analyzes data from the …

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…
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…

Die Massenmedien im Wahlkampf
Der Bundestagswahlkampf 2005 stand unter besonderen Bedingungen. Die Parteien mussten sich kurzfristig auf die vorgezogene Wahl einstellen, die Kampagne war kurz und erlaubte daher nicht die strategisch ausgefeilte Planung fÃ1⁄4r die Wähleransprache, wie sie professionalisierte Wahlkämpfe auszeichnet. Zudem trat zum ersten Mal eine Frau als Kanzlerkandidatin an, was zu einem populären Thema der Kampagnenberichterstattung avancierte, aber auch man…
Gender Reactions to TV Political Broadcasts
This study investigated differences in male and female responses to political television broadcasts during recent elections in the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Poland, and Romania. Experimental studies indicated that male and female voters responded differently to the political broadcasts but that these patterns were not uniform across the countries
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…

Verleidet Uns das Fernsehen die Politik
Mitte der siebziger Jahre verhalf der amerikanische Politikwissenschaftler Michael J. Robinson dem Wort von der „Videomalaise“ zu Prominenz. Dahinter steht die Behauptung, daß das Fernsehen durch eine spezifische Darstellung von Politik bei den Personen, die sich zu ihrer politischen Information ausschließlich oder überwiegend auf dieses Medium verlassen, politische Malaise hervorruft oder verstärkt. Politische Malaise oder Entfremdung steht hier…

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…
Die Beurteilung von Wahlspots im Fernsehen
In den Vereinigten Staaten wird den Wahlspots, für die die Kandidaten Sendezeit im Fernsehen kaufen können, schon lange eine wichtige Rolle in Wahlkämpfen zuerkannt. Das belegt auch eine umfangreiche Forschungstätigkeit, die sich den Spots unter verschiedenen Aspekten gewidmet hat. 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…

Kampagnen politischer Kommunikation
Bis heute ist Wahlforschung zuallererst Wählerverhaltensforschung. Schon der Untertitel des Wahlforschungsklassikers The People's Choice von La-zarsfeld, Berelson und Gaudet (1944), How the Voter Makes up his Mind in an Election, machte das deutlich. Diese Untersuchung, zusammen mit der Nachfolgestudie Voting von Berelson, Lazarsfeld und McPhee (1954), begründete zugleich den soziologischen Ansatz zur Erklärung von Wählerverhalten. Daneben trat w…
