@marhai.bsky.social and @jajuenger.bsky.social & Chantal Gärtner have written books about Computational Communication Science #ccs #css. @mscharkow.bsky.social and I think they are good; go read them or give them to your German students. Also, please don't publish (exclusively) with springer.com.

In our new episode, we discuss the impact of digital media on well-being with @dougaparry.bsky.social. We look in particular at measuring media use and the new opportunities offered by digital data and CCS methods, but also the challenges involved. Listen here: t1p.de/ogbna

Fake news and the hybrid media system as well as malicious language online -- interesting phenomena we package under the umbrella term of (in quotation marks) "'contemporary' news". @jolukito.bsky.social guides us through these phenomena in our recent podcast episode! 📻🎧
How to study "contemporary" news? Join our discussion with the wonderful @jolukito.bsky.social on hybrid media systems, different forms of political language and their impact, and the role of CCS. Listen in here: t1p.de/getq0

Aller Protest der Zivilgesellschaft hat nicht geholfen. Die Schließung der Goethe-Institute in Italien, Frankreich - aber auch in Washington ist beschlossene Sache. Um 24 Millionen Euro einzusparen. Welch Borniertheit, welch bodenlose Dummheit.
