Fake News and Elections in Southeast Asia
This book offers a regional analysis of the impact of fake news – misinformation, malinformation and disinformation – on electoral democracy and freedom of expression in Southeast Asia, which has taken place in the middle of a global health pandemic. The book maps the impact of social media and the internet on democracy in the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations that have already been in the throes of democratic regression for some time. Including an analysis of countries that do not have national elections, the chapters provide detailed information on the extent of internet and social media penetration in each country, the laws that are deployed to reel in its politica...
Media and Public Attitudes Toward Migration in Europe
This comparative volume provides a comprehensive cross-national account of media coverage and public attitudes toward migration both within and into the European Union. Using empirical research from across Germany, Hunary, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, Media and Public Attitudes Toward Migration in Europe offers an in-depth exploration of one of the most prominent social and political topics of the decade in Europe. Drawing on a large scale, cross-national panel survey, experiments, and media content analysis of migration discourse in both traditional news media and social media, expert contributors from across the continent investigate topics such as the linguistic features of migration coverage, the public perception of migrants, and the effects of journalistic communication strategies. Other topics addressed include a discussion of news framing effects on migration coverage and politicians’ postings on social media coverage about the issue. This is a valuable resource for academics, students, and policymakers interested in media coverage of migration, news framing effects, and public attitudes to migration generally. .
The Normalization of the Radical Right
Radical-right behavior is increasing across Western democracies, often very quickly. Previous research has shown, however, that political attitudes and preferences do not change as quickly. Vicente Valentim argues that the role of social norms as drivers of political behavior is crucial for understanding these patterns. Building on a norms-based theory of political supply and demand, he argues that growing radical-right behavior is driven by individuals who already had radical-right views, but who did not act on those views because they thought that they were socially unacceptable. If these voters do not express their preferences, politicians can underestimate how much latent support there i...
A Comparative Analysis of Political and Media Discourses about Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
Zusammenfassung: This book explores the discursive dimension of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It analyzes how political leaders, mass media, social media, and ordinary people in Ukraine, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France discuss the war. War propaganda and counterpropaganda structure discourses about the invasion, strengthening post-truth conditions. The book highlights the consequences of the growing distrust in the institutional truth-teller, mass media. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the first social media war. Social media became the principal source of information about the invasion. The rise of digital media did not change the tendency of the discourses about w...
schliff - Wasser
Ozean oder "holy water" – der im Schwinden begriffene Grundbaustein des Lebens ist Thema in der schliff-Reihe Elementarwelten. "Wasser weiß zu reden" (Ingeborg Bachmann): Insbesondere in der Literatur besitzt das flüssige Element eine Symbolkraft, die so eigenwillig ist wie die Gezeiten und so wandlungsfähig wie seine Aggregatzustände. Als lebensnotwendiges Prinzip durchdringt Wasser alles Sein. Es garantiert Leben sowie Vielfalt in der Natur und regelt die anthropogene Ökonomie von Körper und Geist. Gleichzeitig kennt das Wissen um die Notwendigkeit des Wassers für das menschliche Leben seine technisch-kulturelle Kehrseite im Umgang mit dem Element selbst: Staudämme werden errichtet, um der Gewalt des Flüssigen zu trotzen, und Schiffe gebaut, um es zu beherrschen. Mal faszinierend, mal bedrohlich weist Wasser eine Ambivalenz auf, die sich seit der Antike durch die Literaturgeschichte verfolgen und heranziehen lässt, um die Tiefen und Untiefen von Kulturen und ihren Herrschaftsformen zu durchmessen. schliff N°14 versammelt literarische und literatur-/kulturwissenschaftliche Beiträge sowie bildkünstlerische Arbeiten zum Thema "Wasser".
metamorphosen 24 – Glitch
Sternschnuppen auf Knopfdruck? Ein Start-up aus Japan will, dass aus dieser Vorstellung bald Realität wird – unsere Realität. Über zwei Jahre ist es her, seit wir uns in den metamorphosen mit den weit entfernten Galaxien und künstlichen Welten der Science-Fiction beschäftigt haben. Jetzt ist es Zeit für Teil zwei, denn was uns beim Lesen der Texte immer wieder wie Sternschnuppen von den Augen fiel: Science-Fiction als wahrnehmungsverunsichernder und -verunsicherter Modus hält auch in solche Texte Einzug, die mit dem Genre eigentlich nichts zu tun haben. Technizistische Verfremdung, kontrafaktische Weltbehauptung oder fröhliche Untergangsphantasie – you name it. Und obwohl sich un...
How Media Inform Democracy
In this timely book, leading researchers consider how media inform democracy in six countries – the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Taking as their starting point the idea that citizens need to be briefed adequately with a full and intelligent coverage of public affairs so that they can make responsible, informed choices rather than act out of ignorance and misinformation, contributors use a comparative approach to examine the way in which the shifting media landscape is affecting and informing the democratic process across the globe. In particular, they ask: Can a comparative approach provide us with new answers to the question of how media...

News Framing Effects
News Framing Effects is a guide to framing effects theory, one of the most prominent theories in media and communication science. Rooted in both psychology and sociology, framing effects theory describes the ability of news media to influence people’s attitudes and behaviors by subtle changes to how they report on an issue. The book gives expert commentary on this complex theoretical notion alongside practical instruction on how to apply it to research. The book’s structure mirrors the steps a scholar might take to design a framing study. The first chapter establishes a working definition of news framing effects theory. The following chapters focus on how to identify the independent vari...
