  • Was mit Medien, was mit Gender

    Open AccessKarin Boczek, Liane RothenbergerARTICLEMedien & Kommunikationswissenschaft2025

    Genderforschung ist ein wichtiger, wenn auch quantitativ geringer Bestandteil der Kommunikationswissenschaft. In Bezug auf Journalismus wurde sie vor allem hinsichtlich der Beschreibung von Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden zwischen den Geschlechtern auf Kommunikator:innenseite, Berichterstattung und in historischer Hinsicht aufgegriffen. Die vorliegende Studie fragt, inwieweit Genderforschung mit Journalismusbezug (oder Journalismusforschung mit…

  • Adapting to Affordances and Audiences? A Cross-Platform, Multi-Modal Analysis of the Platformization of News on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter

    Open AccessValerie Hase, Karin Boczek et al.ARTICLEDigital Journalism2023

    To capture audiences’ attention on social media, news outlets may disseminate journalistic content in line with platform instead of mass media logics, indicating a platformization of news. Taking a cross-platform, multi-modal approach, we analyze how German outlets select and adapt existing stories for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. We combine a computational and a manual content analysis of articles and social media posts (N = 4,412),…

  • Gender byline bias in sports reporting

    Open AccessKarin Boczek, Leyla Dogruel et al.ARTICLEJournalism2023

    Gender-based marginalization and discrimination in sports journalism is an ongoing concern of research addressing gender equality in journalism. The visibility of female reporters as authors in terms of sports coverage has been found to be under 10% in content analysis that spans several countries. Research into audiences’ perceptions of authorship in sports journalism further found female authors to be prone to byline biases—even though findings…

  • Die Entwicklung von Forschungssoftware als praktische Interdisziplinarität

    Open AccessGerret Von Nordheim, Lars Koppers et al.ARTICLEMedien & Kommunikationswissenschaft2021

    Wir stellen in diesem Aufsatz ein Modell interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit zwischen Kommunikationswissenschaft und Methodenwissenschaft (hier: Statistik) vor. Dabei steht die Frage im Mittelpunkt, wie sich die Kollaboration grundverschiedener Disziplinen über einen längeren Zeitraum verstetigen lässt. Der agilen Entwicklung von Forschungssoftware, die die fachübergreifende Zusammenarbeit strukturiert, kann hierbei eine zentrale Rolle zukommen. Si…

  • What’s New about Whatsapp for News? A Mixed-Method Study on News Outlets’ Strategies for Using WhatsApp

    Open AccessKarin Boczek, Lars KoppersARTICLEDigital Journalism2019Cited by: 14References: 21

    Recent reports show that users increasingly use smartphone messenger applications such as WhatsApp for news. Media outlets have started to provide news via WhatsApp in addition to other platforms. In journalism scholarship, the routines of messenger app journalism are still little understood. Building on the Diffusions of Innovations theory, this paper explores whether newsrooms treat WhatsApp similar to other social media, which they have used f…

  • Sourcing the Sources

    Open AccessGerret Von Nordheim, Karin Boczek et al.ARTICLEDigital Journalism2018Cited by: 36References: 15

    Social media today are playing a more important role as a news source than ever before. Yet, there have been no longitudinal studies on journalists’ sourcing practices in recent years that allow us to consider the mechanisms of innovation diffusion. Comparative studies of different social platforms in different media systems are just as rare. We therefore examine the use of Facebook and Twitter as journalistic sources in newspapers of three count…
