Activists Preserving the (Multi-Platform) Environment
Digital platforms intertwine the offline and online spheres of climate activism, as seen in the anti-coal demonstration in the German village of Lützerath. Through automated network/content analyses and qualitative evaluation, we explore how Twitter/X, Telegram, and Mastodon shape networked coalitions of protest advocates and antagonists during the protests (N = 259,334 German-language posts). On Twitter/X, both advocates and antagonists formed l…
What Kind of Depolarization Should We Aim For? Making Communication Transformative
Polarization may become a threat to democracy, if it starts to block the capacities for collective problem-solving. This is particularly problematic in the current state of multiple social and ecological crises. Calls for depolarization often lack clarity about what kind of depolarization is normatively desirable. Academic texts often lack transparency about the values that underpin recommendations for better communication. Focusing on discursive…
Transformative Tools, Emerging Challenges
Advancements in Large Language Models have been showing important research opportunities within the field of communication studies. It offers the capacity to conduct large-scale content classification and annotation with low computational expertise and reduced manual coding efforts, potentially allowing more possibilities for researchers in social sciences to explore understudied topics (Bail, 2023; Chang et al., 2024). Because of its functioning…
A Practical Guide and Case Study on How to Instruct LLMs for Automated Coding During Content Analysis
This paper provides a practical example and guide on how to augment or replace human coders with Large Language Models (LLMs) during content analysis. We demonstrate this by replicating and extending an influential study on environmental communication. Our setup, running locally on consumer-grade hardware, makes it feasible for university researchers operating within typical computational and legal constraints. We validate the LLM’s performance b…
When debates break apart
“Polarization” is a common diagnosis of the state of contemporary societies. Yet, few studies theorize or systematically analyze how polarization evolves in media content. To guide future empirical studies, we introduce a public sphere perspective on polarization. Discursive Polarization, defined as divergence emerging in public communication, may disrupt the public sphere if left untamed. Its analysis should combine the study of ideological pola…
Das Engagementfeld Geflüchtetenhilfe in Münster
Mit dem vermehrten Zuzug Geflüchteter 2015 haben sich bundesweit zahlreiche Flüchtlingshilfeinitiativen gegründet. Auch in Münster beteiligen sich seitdem viele Organisationen an der Betreuung und Integration Geflüchteter. Auf der Grundlage von 18 qualitativen Interviews beschreibt der Beitrag die aktuelle Situation der Initiativen und skizziert die wesentlichen Veränderungen des freiwilligen Engagements von 2015 bis 2020. Darüber hinaus werden d…

Konflikt, Verhandlung, Sozialer Friede
Seit der schrittweisen Etablierung sozialstaatlicher Strukturen fanden in Deutschland eine Reihe gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche und Regimewechsel, schwere Wirtschaftskrisen sowie zwei Weltkriege statt. Dennoch wird das deutsche Wohlfahrtssystem oft in einer grundlegenden Kontinuität zu seinen Ursprüngen unter dem Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck gesehen. Zwar ist das deutsche Wohlfahrtssystem nach wie vor eng mit den sozialpolitischen Reformma\nahmen…
