Spin Doctors in the United States, Great Britain, and Germany: Metacommunication about Media Manipulation
2001
This study develops a new concept in political communication theory called metacommunication. It argues that metacommunication (1) describes a new, third stage in election coverage after issue and strategy coverage; (2) reflects the mass media's new role as a political institution in the third age of political communication; and (3) can be seen as the news media's response to a new, third force in news making: professional political PR. Metacommunication is defined as the news media's self-referential reflections on the nature of the interplay between political public relations and political journalism. While metacoverage can take two forms, self-referential news and process news, the pres…
(Re)creating “society in silico” : surveillance capitalism, simulations and subjectivity in the Cambridge Analytica data scandal
2021
This article provides a different angle to understand the Cambridge Analytica (CA) data scandal. It focuses on the role of models and simulations in the big data campaigning tools CA allegedly used, and their epistemological and ontological potential to produce and reproduce voters' digital doubles that would first colonise and eventually replace the analogue selves they were related to. By integrating and revising Zuboff's surveillance capitalism framework with Debord's classic theory of the Spectacle, the article argues that the dystopian simulations played as real life experiments by surveillance capitalist firms such as CA have the ultimate goal of replacing analogue humanity with digit…

Subjective objectivity. How journalists in four countries define a key term of their profession
1993
'Objectivity' is one of the core professional values of journalism. However, there are many different definitions and interpretations of the term in the profession. These notions have changed over time in one country, and they differ between journalists in different cultural and political settings. In this paper we present comparative results of how journalists in different countries look at the term objectivity. The data are gathered from an international study of news journalists in democracies. In this survey, representative samples of reporters and editors who are involved in daily news decisions were interviewed with the same questionnaire. We show how journalists differ in their noti…
Participación política y periodismo: análisis de la cobertura de Televisión Española de la segunda asamblea ciudadana de Podemos / Political particip…
2018
ResumenEl incremento de la participación en la vida de los partidos políticos se ha mostrado como un ideal en los últimos años de la democracia española. Podemos, una de las formaciones de la llamada nueva política ha utilizado el voto telemático para establecer interconexión con sus inscritos y decidir sus estructuras organizativas y sus documentos políticos. A pesar de la ampliación de posibilidades de participación en las decisiones internas, la definición de visibilidades mediáticas se circunscribe al tándem Iglesias-Errejón y el debate interior encuentra límites en su representación externa. Este estudio trata de analizar los discursos derivados de la cobertura de Televisión Española d…
The Rocky Road towards Professional Autonomy : The Estonian Journalists’ Organization in the Political Turmoil of the 20th Century
2017
This article attempts to explain the relationships between journalists, politics and the state from the perspective of collective autonomy, that of the professional organization of journalists. The case of Estonian Journalists’ Union demonstrates the complexity and historical contingency of professional autonomy of journalism. The development of the Estonian journalists’ organization occurred as a sequence of transformations from the Estonian Journalists’ Association to the Estonian Journalists’ Union to the Soviet type journalists’ union, and lastly to an independent trade union. This sequence was disrupted by several fatal breakdowns that changed not only the character of the association,…
Journalists’ Associations as Political Instruments in Central and Eastern Europe
2017
This editorial provides the overall context for the five cases—three national and two international—covered in this thematic issue. While the cases are from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), they highlight fundamental questions of journalism everywhere, including contradictions between freedom and control, professionalism and politics, individual and collective. The associations of journalists serve as very useful platforms to study these questions, especially at historical turning points when the whole political system changed, as happened twice in CEE after World War II.
"Ist dort... ha, ha, ha, der... der 'Erfinder der deutschen Popliteratur?'" Continuidad y evolución de la Neue Deutsche Popliteratur en la obra de Jo…
2023
La Neue Deutsche Popliteratur ha estado asociada desde sus inicios a la Spaßgesellschaft. El consumismo, el ritmo desenfrenado y la constante búsqueda del placer y la diversión que recogían los textos desarrollados por los Popliteraten eran reflejo de una época en la que el fin último de la sociedad era el placer y la diversión individual, alejándose de la búsqueda del bienestar colectivo. Sin embargo, los terribles atentados cometidos el 11 de septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York supusieron el fin de la Spaßgesellschaft y, a ojos de la crítica especializada del momento, también el fin de una literatura estrechamente vinculada al contexto en que surgió. Esta tesis analiza la continuidad y evolu…
What Drives Populist Styles? Analyzing Immigration and Labor Market News in 11 Countries
2019
The success of populist political actors in Western democracies and the dramatization and emotionality of political communication in news media have been the object of several theoretical and empirical studies in the past decade. It has been argued that the mediatization of politics and the convergence of populist and tabloid communication styles foster these developments by mutual promotion in mass communication. This article uses a cross-national quantitative content analysis to disentangle associations among news genres, populist actors, content, and style. In spite of indisputable prevalence of populist styles in tabloid style media, populist ideology is identified as their strongest s…
