Tackling the challenges of artificial intelligence for public communication: Governance and accountability discourses about the responsible use of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of public communication. However, while AI technologies allow for more participatory and dialogic processes, they can also facilitate destructive communication patterns including hate speech, online harassment, and disinformation or misinformation. Such trends raise concerns about how to regulate the responsible use of AI in public communication. This contribution intends to refle…
Social Media and Political Participation: Unpacking the Role of Social Media in Contemporary Politics
European media systems in dynamic transition: Comparative results from five countries
Media in Europe have undergone profound transformations. These changes involve structural transformation (global trends, the role of politics, EU, etc.); sectoral transformation (e.g., deriving from within the media domain); and the role of particular individuals (such as media moguls). In this respect, there is a lack of comparative studies which systematically explore the relations between these three dimensions in European transformative proce…
Media and Journalism Research in Small European Countries
Big and small states all function as comprehensive entities: they require state apparatuses, the ability to provide services for citizens, the capacity to protect themselves, and appropriate media systems to guarantee a deliberative communication space for democratic processes. Investigating media, in turn, is important since it informs us about risks and opportunities for media transformations. To examine the impact of smallness on monitoring an…

Memory of the Future? Digital Archives in Public Service Media
Archives by public service media (PSM) are often regarded as an ideal instrument for creating a collective 'cultural memory', which is essential in the individualized, differentiated and polarized societies of today. Technological innovations and digitization open up new possibilities in this regard, as data can be stored and made accessible more easily. In their daily work, however, PSM archives encounter various obstacles. How do PSM across Eur…
Watching the Watchdog: Online Discourses About Media Frauds
Media frauds often lead to lively public discussions about journalism’s professional identity and its social mandate. The paper uses the so-called Relotius case as a starting point for a systematic analysis of the responsibility of narrative journalists in an age of “fake news” and post-truth politics – and the question of how they can be held to account in the online realm. Claas Relotius counted as one of the most talented journalistic storytel…

Both Sides of the Story: Communication Ethics in Mediatized Worlds
Current transformations in the media landscape are challenging contemporary communication and media ethics in at least 2 ways. First, digitization of the media creates new ethical problems that stimulate calls for a redefinition of the norms and values of public communication. Second, new instruments of web-based media observation introduce new possibilities for media (self-)regulation and accountability, thus complementing the initiatives of tra…
Training or Improvisation: Citizen journalists and their educational backgrounds—a comparative view
While citizen journalists hope to bring new impulses to mass media performance, it is often asked whether they are adequately trained for the production of “newsworthy” stories. This paper focuses on educational aspects of citizen journalism, which, to date, have largely been disregarded by empirical research. A comparative analytical design illustrates the different ways in which citizen journalists acquire and develop the skills that are necess…
How effective is media self-regulation? Results from a comparative survey of European journalists
This article presents key results of a comparative journalists’ survey on media accountability, for which 1762 journalists in 14 countries had been interrogated online. The article explores how European journalists perceive the impact of old versus new media accountability instruments on professional journalistic standards – established instruments like press councils, ethics codes, ombudsmen and media criticism, but also more recent online instr…
Journalists and Media Accountability: An International Study of News People in the Digital Age
The Missing Link: Online Media Accountability Practices and Their Implications for European Media Policy
Can online media criticism form a robust basis for media accountability? The authors report that the perceived impact of such criticism illustrates notable national differences. Based on a survey of journalists from twelve European and two Arab countries, they find online participatory accountability models to be least influential in countries with well-developed media accountability practices, and most valued in countries without a long traditio…
