Media, Publics & Democracy
Description:

Media are crucial for the circulation of information in societies and creating a public sphere in modern democracies. Media are fundamentally changing the communicative relations of our world. With the advent of digital in particular social media the question of their contribution to the transformation of the public sphere takes on a new quality. It is necessary to ask how the logic of public communication is changing because of datafication, algorithmisation, and plattformisation. What do these changes mean for audiences, users, and publics? What does it mean for the quality of public discourse, participation, and integration in modern societies?

Keywords: public communications, democracy, datafication, algorithmisation, plattformisation
