Die Digitalisierung, die uber kurz oder lang alle Gebiete der Kommunikations- und Informationstechnik erfasst, wird auch fur den Rundfunk (Fernsehen und Horfunk) von grosser Bedeutung sein. Neue digitale Ubertragungssysteme werden die technische Qualitat bei der Verbreitung von Programmen wesentlich verbessern und weitere Kapazitaten - insbesondere beim Satellitenrundfunk - erschliessen.
Der Kongress des "Munchner Kreises" bzw. die hieraus resultierende Veroffentlichung informiert uber den aktuellen Stand der Digitalisierung in Fernsehen und Horfunk und betrachtet die damit zusammenhangenden Fragen aus technischer, rundfunkpolitischer und industriepolitischer Sicht."

Video - mehr als ein neues Medium? Eine Ideologie? Nur eine zeitlich begrenz te Erscheinung in der sog., Alternativ-Szene'? Da die Konzeptionen der Videogruppen unterschiedlich sind, bleibt eine ein heitliche, klarende Antwort illusorisch. Fraglich wird es schon bei dem Reiz- aber auch Schlusselwort, alternativ'. Was heisst alternativ, zu was ist man alternativ? So wird bei einigen schon allein der Einsatz von Video als alternativ betrachtet, andererseits gibt es aber auch Gruppen, die sich auf historische und theoretische Ansatze beziehen und versuchen, diese weiterzuentwickeln (vgl. KOHLER, S. 9 f.). Um dem Dilemma in der Begriffsbesfunmung zu entgehen, soll im folgenden unter alternativer Medienarbeit eine Medienarbeit verstanden werden, die sich im weite sten Sinn von den etablierten Formen der Massenmedien abgrenzt, die "anders" ist. Nach dieser Definition stellt sich das Spektrum alternativer Medienarbeit so breit gefachert dar, dass darunter Gruppen wie z.B. die Medientechnische Werk statt Braunschweig, die mehr formal-emanzipatorische Ziele anstrebt, subsumiert werden kann, wie auch das Medienpadagogik-Zentrum Hamburg, dessen Konzep tion von politisch-padagogischer Medianarbeit auf die "Darstellung und Veran derung der gesamten Arbeits- und Lebensverhaltnisse der Menschen, auf die ge samtgesellschaftliche Wirklichkeit und deren Veranderung" abzielt. Die meisten Videogruppen verstehen ihre Arbeit als eine politische. Ausgangspunkt und einigendes Band der Video-Bewegung ist die Kritik an den herrschenden Massenmedien, an dem einseitigen Verhaltnis Sender/Empfanger."

What happens when screen time is all the time? In the early 1990s, the phrase “screen time” emerged to scare parents about the dangers of too much TV for kids. Screen time was something to fret over, police, and judge in a low-grade moral panic. Now, “screen time” has become a metric not only for good parenting, but for our adult lives as well. There’s even an app for it! In the streaming era—and with streaming made nearly ubiquitous during COVID-19—almost every aspect of our day is mediated by these bright surfaces. Whether it was ever the real villain in the first place, or merely a convenient proxy for unaddressed familial, social, and institutional failures, screen time is now all the time. Avidly Reads Screen Time is a funny, insightful work of cultural criticism and history about how we define screens, and how they now define us. From Mad Men to iCarly, Vine to FaceTime, binge-watching to doom-scrolling, Phillip Maciak leads us on a sometimes heartwarming, sometimes harrowing tour of the media that brings us together and tears us apart.

In New Approaches to Contemporary Adaptation, editor Betty Kaklamanidou defiantly claims that "all films are adaptations". The wide-ranging chapters included in this book highlight the growing and evolving relevance of the field of adaptation studies and its many branding subfields. Armed with a wealth of methodologies, theoretical concepts, and sophisticated paradigms of case-studies analyses of the past, these scholars expand the field to new and exciting realms. With chapters on data, television, music, visuality, and transnationalism, this anthology aims to complement the literature of the field by asking answers to outstanding questions while proposing new ones: Whose stories have been adapted in the last few decades? Are films that are based on "true stories" simply adaptations of those real events? How do transnational adaptations differ from adaptations that target the same national audiences as the texts they adapt? What do long-running TV shows actually adapt when their source is a single book or novel? To attempt to answer these questions, New Approaches to Contemporary Adaptation is organized in three parts. Part 1, "External Influences on Adaptation", delves into matters surrounding film adaptations without primarily focusing on textual analysis of the final cinematic product. Part 2, "Millennial TV and Franchise Adaptations", demonstrates that the contemporary television landscape has become fruitful terrain for adaptation studies. Part 3, "ElasTEXTity and Adaptation", explores different thematic approaches to adaptation studies and how adaptation extends beyond traditional media. Spanning media and the globe, contributors complement their research with tools from sociology, psychoanalysis, gender studies, race studies, translation studies, and political science. Kaklamanidou makes it clear that adaptation is vital to sharing important stories and mythologies, as well as passing knowledge to new generations. The aim of this anthology is to open up the field of adaptation studies by revisiting the object of analysis and proposing alternative ways of looking at it. Scholars of cultural, gender, film, literary, and adaptation studies will find this collection innovative and thought-provoking.

Algorithmic recommender systems, deployed by media companies to suggest content based on users' viewing histories, have inspired hopes for personalized, curated media but also dire warnings of filter bubbles and media homogeneity. Curiously, both proponents and detractors assume that recommender systems for choosing films and series are novel, effective, and widely used. Scrutinizing the world's most subscribed streaming service, Netflix, this book challenges that consensus. Investigating real-life users, marketing rhetoric, technical processes, business models, and historical antecedents, Mattias Frey demonstrates that these choice aids are neither as revolutionary nor as alarming as their celebrants and critics maintain-and neither as trusted nor as widely used. Netflix Recommends brings to light the constellations of sources that real viewers use to choose films and series in the digital age and argues that although some lament AI's hostile takeover of humanistic cultures, the thirst for filters, curators, and critics is stronger than ever.
