Sections focus in detail on theory, international practice, and critiques of mainstream media performance from a peace perspective; countries discussed include the U.S., U.K., Germany, Cyprus, Sweden, Canada, India, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.

German Voices
What was it like to grow up German during Hitler’s Third Reich? In this extraordinary book, Frederic C. Tubach returns to the country of his roots to interview average Germans who, like him, came of age between 1933 and 1945. Tubach sets their recollections and his own memories into a broad historical overview of Nazism—a regime that shaped minds through persuasion (meetings, Nazi Party rallies, the 1936 Olympics, the new mass media of radio and film) and coercion (violence and political suppression). The voices of this long-overlooked population—ordinary people who were neither victims nor perpetrators—reveal the rich complexity of their attitudes and emotions. The book also presents selections from approximately 80,000 unpublished letters (now archived in Berlin) written during the war by civilians and German soldiers. Tubach powerfully provides new insights into Germany’s most tragic years, offering a nuanced response to the abiding question of how a nation made the quantum leap from anti-Semitism to systematic genocide.
Handbook of Media and Communication Economics
This handbook maps the media economy in its entirety against the background of the advancing digitalization of communication, media production, media distribution and the adaptation of regulatory framework conditions from different disciplinary approaches. It provides an integrated view on digitally induced economic transformations of the European media sector, and gives an explicitly European perspective on media economics – challenging the dominant US-American view. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: Theoretical approaches to media economics; media technologies and data management in media economics; building blocks of the media industry; media types and core distribution markets; system aspects and communication culture; media systems and regulatory policy; as well as methods of media economics. The handbook is a must-read for students, teachers and researchers in media and communication economics and science,as well as practicioners and policy-makers at the nexus of media, business and politics.
Media as Procedures of Communication
The book explores the multifaceted nature of media and communication by challenging traditional views that consider media solely as technical infrastructures for transmitting information. Instead, it focuses on mediality as an empirically relevant concept and proposes to understand media as socially constituted semiotic procedures that shape and are shaped by communicative practices. The book is structured around this central idea, with four main sections. Part I examines digital environments, analyzing the interplay between multimodal approaches and mediality through case studies such as digital learning platforms and Zoom seminars. Part II focuses on journalistic procedures, investigating ...
Bosch
Bosch is a company with a rich history. It stands for important trends of the modern world, such as the motorization of transport or the electrification of the household, and was one of the pioneers of globalization. Its founder Robert Bosch was as well known for his liberal views as he was for the social principles he applied to company management. With this book, Johannes Bähr and Paul Erker present the first comprehensive history of Bosch to be written by independent historians. In undertaking their research, the authors had unrestricted access to the company archives. Starting from the figure of the company founder, his business principles, and the early days of his company as a modest,...
Filtermacht
Philosophische Öffentlichkeitstheorien – von John Dewey über Hannah Arendt bis zu Jürgen Habermas – beschäftigen sich mit der grundlegenden Rolle, die ein öffentlicher Diskurs oder eine öffentliche Sphäre für die Demokratie und unser Verständnis als selbstbestimmte Bürgerinnen und Bürger haben. Diese Öffentlichkeit unterliegt aber durch die Digitalisierung einem rapiden Wandel, wird die Welt doch in dieser medialen Revolution neu erfahrbar. Die Veränderung besteht entscheidend darin, dass die Filterung der Realität in anderer Art und Weise stattfindet: An die Stelle eines redaktionellen Modells der Wirklichkeitsvermittlung tritt das Modell einer Datenbank; mittels algorithmischer Kuratierung wird die soziale Wirklichkeit nach unseren Präferenzen und nach Plattformpräferenzen gefiltert. Lukas Kaelin analysiert diese Veränderung in der Informationsvermittlung nicht nur genau, sondern legt auch die weitreichenden Konsequenzen – wie Enthemmung und Kommodifizierung – für den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs dar.
Unseriöser Journalismus?
Wie seriös ist der Journalismus von Radio und Fernsehen? Wie oft und in welchen Themenbereichen sind die Beiträge einseitig, unsachlich, manipulativ? Wie können sich Bürgerinnen und Bürger gegen übergriffige, fehlerhafte, die Wirklichkeit verzerrende Sendungen wehren? Dies findet man heraus, wenn man Beschwerden gegen Medien und ihren Ausgang analysiert. Das Buch "Unseriöser Journalismus?" ist diesen Fragen nachgegangen. Der Autor gibt zunächst einen Überblick über die Beschwerdemöglichkeiten des Publikums gegen Radio- und Fernsehsendungen in Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz, Luxemburg, Südtirol, Ostbelgien und Liechtenstein. Dann untersucht er thematisch geordnet konkrete B...
Verschwimmende Grenzen zwischen Journalismus, Public Relations, Werbung und Marketing
Der Band analysiert die Trennung zwischen redaktioneller Berichterstattung sowie PR-Produkten, Marketing und Werbung, die grundsätzlich gefordert wird und in rechtlichen Bestimmungen unter dem Stichwort „Trennungsgrundsatz“ festgeschrieben ist. Allerdings ist in der Praxis festzustellen, dass zwischen diesen Professionen nicht immer klare Linien zu erkennen sind. Dies hat unterschiedliche Ursachen, die in den Marktbedingungen, Ressourcen, Medienentwicklungen zu finden sind. Kritisch zu hinterfragen ist der Umgang mit solchen Vermischungen. Dabei geht es um die Prüfung und Beurteilung von Grenzziehungen sowie deren Konsequenzen.
