Medien und Öffentlichkeit

This textbook serves as an introduction to research in communication science and focuses on the key social concept of (refugee) migration as part of public discourse as well as media ethics and journalistic debate. It aims to provide an overview of theoretical approaches and empirical findings that illustrate the connection between media and the public sphere in a digital and post-migrant society. As the social developments surrounding immigration are reflected in the entire public communication process, the structure of the textbook follows the five overarching research areas of communication studies: communicators, channels, content, use and impact.
