Evidence in the service of dissent
This study investigates how Germany’s anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine protest movement, led mainly by the Querdenken network, allied with conspiracist and far-right groups, utilized scientific authority while opposing COVID-19 policy. We analyse posts published in 161 public Telegram channels using a computational pipeline that combines named-entity recognition, structural topic modeling, a BERT sentiment classifier, and an open-source large langu…
News under pressure? Politicization of scientific expertise in German mainstream news during Covid-19
Using a corpus from ten German outlets during COVID-19, we examine how mainstream media translated scientific expertise into political debate. We define politicization narrowly as coverage in which conflict or controversy, partisan alignment, and communicated uncertainty about expert claims co-occur. Combining named-entity recognition for political and expert actors with word-embedding measures around policy-intervention terms, we estimate mixed-…

Using risk communication theory and the concept of sustainability communication, the goal of this study is to assess to which extent and how mass media address risk issues as well as sustainable issues regarding the use of plastics. A quantitative media content analysis was conducted of 161 reports that focused on plastics as the main topic in selected German print and TV mass media published between January 2015 and March 2017.

Leadership Communication and Knowledge Integration across the Artistic, Technical and Administration Area in Theaters
This study analyzes self–other agreement in leadership communication and its relation to knowledge integration across the artistic, technical and administration areas in theaters. Results of a cross-sectional survey among 177 managers and 249 employees of German theaters reveal that managers consider themselves attentive to all areas, but particularly sensitive to their own area. In contrast, employees assess leadership communication quality rath…
