The Global Handbook of Media Accountability brings together leading
scholars to de-Westernize the academic debate on media
accountability and discuss different models of media
self-regulation and newsroom transparency around the globe. With
examination of the status quo of media accountability in 43
countries worldwide, it offers a theoretically informed comparative
analysis of accountability regimes of different varieties. As such,
it constitutes the first interdisciplinary academic framework
comparing structures of media accountability across all continents
and creates an invaluable basis for further research and
policymaking. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students of
media studies and journalism, mass communication, sociology, and
political science, as well as policymakers and practitioners.

In recent years, the Leveson Inquiry in Great Britain, as well as
the EU High-Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism, have
stirred heated debates about media accountability and media
self-regulation across Europe. How responsible are journalists? How
well-developed are infrastructures of media self-regulation in the
different European countries? How much commitment to media
accountability is there in the media industry - and how actively do
media users become involved in the process of media criticism via
social media? With contributions from leading scholars in the field
of journalism and mass communication, this handbook brings together
reports on the status quo of media accountability in all EU members
states as well as key countries close to Europe, such as Turkey and
Israel. Each chapter provides an up-to-date overview of media
accountability structures as well as a synopsis of relevant
research, exploring the role of media accountability instruments in
each national setting, including both media self-regulation (such
as codes of ethics, press councils, ombudspersons) and new
instruments that involve audiences and stakeholder groups (such as
media blogs and user comment systems). A theoretically informed,
cross-national comparative analysis of the state of media
accountability in contemporary Europe, this handbook constitutes an
invaluable basis for further research and policy-making and will
appeal to students and scholars of media studies and journalism, as
well as policy-makers and practitioners.

This book is an analysis of the specificities of public film
funding on an international scale. It shows how public funding
schemes add value to film-making and other audio-visual productions
and provides a comprehensive analysis of today's global challenges
in the film industry such as industry change, digital
transformation, and shifting audience tastes. Based on insights
from fields such as cultural economics, media economics, media
management and media governance studies, the authors illustrate how
public spending shapes the financial fitness of national and
international film industries. This highly informative book will
help both scholars and practitioners in the film industry to
understand the complexity of issues and the requirements necessary
to preserve the social benefits of film as an important cultural
good.
This handbook pursues an integrated communication approach. Drawing
on the various fields of organizational communication and their
relevance for CSR, it addresses innovative topics such as big data,
social media, and the convergence of communication channels, as
well as the roles they play in a successfully integrated CSR
communication program. Further aspects covered include the analysis
of sector-specific, cross-cultural, and ethical challenges related
to the effective communication of CSR. This handbook is unique in
its consistent focus on integrated communication. It is of interest
not only for the scientific discourse, but will also benefit those
corporations that not only seek to operate in a socially
responsible manner, but also to communicate their efforts to their
various stakeholders. Besides its significant value for researchers
and professionals, the book can also be used as a reference for
undergraduate and graduate students interested in successful CSR
communication.
Bringing together both leading international scholars and emerging
academic talent, Media Accountability in the Era of Post-Truth
Politics maps the current state of media accountability in Europe
and provides fresh perspectives for future developments in media
and communication fields. As the integrity of the international
media landscape is challenged by far-reaching transformations and
the rise of "fake news," the need for a functional system of media
regulation is greater than ever. This book addresses the pressing
need to re-evaluate and redefine the notion of accountability in
the fast-changing field of journalism and "information provision."
Using comparative research and empirical data, the book's case
studies address the notion of media accountability from various
perspectives, considering political and societal change, economic,
organisational and technological factors, and the changing role of
media audiences. By collecting and juxtaposing these studies, the
book provides a new discussion for the old question of how we can
safeguard free and responsible media in Europe - a question that
seems more urgent than ever. Media Accountability in the Era of
Post-Truth Politics is an essential read for students and
researchers in journalism, media and communication studies.
The volume deals with the normative challenges and the ethical
questions imposed by, and through, the developments and changes in
everyday life, culture and society in the context of media change.
It is thus concerned with the questions of whether and how the
central concept of (enlightened) ethics must evolve under these
premises - or in other words: what form do ethics take in
mediatized societies? In order to address this question and to
stimulate and initiate a debate, the authors focus on two concepts:
responsibility and resistance. Their contributions try to shed
light not only on the empirical shreds of evidence of change in
mediatized societies, but also on the normative challenges and
ethical possibilities of these developments.

Change management is not just affected globally by environmental
and social conditions, including political and technological
changes, but also through convergence, which helps conceptualize
change over the past decades. The media industry, in particular, is
being challenged by the rise of social media, the crisis of
refinancing especially for quality news media, the 'misinformation
epidemic', and the changing role of legacy media. The evolving
nature of media usage and communication, the rise of produsage and
influencers, and intermediaries and their personalized algorithmic
content are also factors that impact the industry, along with data
privacy and privacy management, and the "new responsibilities" of
companies such as sustainability, agility and resilience, etc. This
book focuses on permanent change management in the media and
related industries. It provides insights into the most common and
crucial phenomena of media and change management in general, while
also revealing some more specific issues brought about by technical
and social innovations. The authors expand the meaning of media
management beyond the management functions within the industry to
include the management of different media. The book serves as a
useful guide for researchers, students, and practitioners alike, as
they are all affected by change processes.
The Textbook seeks for an innovative approach to Sustainability
Communication as transdisciplinary area of research. Following the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which are intended to
transform the world as it is known, we seek for a multidisciplinary
discussion of the role communication plays in realizing these
goals. With complementing theoretical approaches and concepts, the
book offers various perspectives on communication practices and
strategies on an individual, organizational, institutional, as well
as public level that contribute, enable (or hinder) sustainable
development. Presented case studies show methodological as well as
issue specific challenges in sustainability communication.
Therefore, the book introduces and promotes innovative methods for
this specific area of research.

Convergence has gained an enormous amount of attention in media
studies within the last several years. It is used to describe the
merging of formerly distinct functions, markets and fields of
application, which has changed the way companies operate and
consumers perceive and process media content. These transformations
have not only led business practices to change and required
companies to adapt to new conditions, they also continue to have a
lasting impact on research in this area. This book's main purpose
is to shed some light on crucial phenomena of media and convergence
management, while also addressing more specific issues brought
about by innovations related to media, technologies, industries,
business models, consumer behavior and content management.
This book gathers insights from renowned academic researchers and
pursues a highly interdisciplinary approach. It will serve as a
valuable reference guide for students, practitioners and
researchers interested in media convergence processes.

Kommunikationswissenschaft ist eine Integrationsdisziplin. So
lautet nicht nur die gangige Selbstdefinition im Rahmen von
Fachgesellschaften, sondern so wird auch fachhistorisch die
Entwicklung des Faches im deutschen Sprachraum beschrieben.
"Integration" scheint dabei ein Fluchtpunkt der Entwicklung und ein
Desiderat zu sein und ein Prozess, der nicht abgeschlossen, doch
weit genug fortgeschritten ist, um ihn in seinen Konturen zu
beschreiben. Der Band geht den Perspektiven und Dimensionen dieser
Selbstbeschreibung und dieses Desiderates nach.
Die Funktion von Medien fur den Einzelnen und in der Gesellschaft
sind immer auch mit normativen Vorannahmen und Erwartungen
verbunden. Leitbilder wie Partizipation oder publizistische
Vielfalt, die pluralistische Medienordnungen pragen, sind ebenso
Orientierungspunkte fur Medienpolitik oder edienerziehung wie auch
fur die Forschung, die sich dem Wirken von Medien in Rezeption und
Gesellschaft widmet. So lassen sich auch fur die verschiedenen
Teilgebiete der Kommunikationswissenschaft unterschiedliche
normative Wertvorstellungen rekonstruieren. Der Band will dieses
normative Moment kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Forschung als
Leistungsfahigkeit der Disziplin im Hinblick auf ihre
gesellschaftliche Verantwortung beleuchten"
Das Buch behandelt die Public-Value-Debatte ausgehend von einer
kulturwissenschaftlichen Position. Um gegenwartige und kommende
Perspektiven zu sammeln, die die vielschichtige medienpolitische
Debatte auch noch die nachsten Jahre beschaftigen werden, ordnet
das Buch theoretische und praktische Ansichten. Unter Einbindung
von medienokonomischen, medienpolitischen und mediensoziologischen
Perspektiven werden verschiedene Argumentationsweisen des Fach- und
Mediendiskurses in Beitragen dargestellt und analysiert. Dabei
werden der Stellenwert der Diskussion, die sich derzeit noch immer
uberwiegend auf Anforderungen an den offentlich-rechtlichen
Rundfunk konzentriert, und mogliche Konsequenzen fur die
Medienentwicklung zum Thema.
In den Banden "Medien und Okonomie" werden die Grundlagen und
Grundfragen der Medienokonomie sowie ihre Problem- und
Anwendungsfelder in ihren Ursprungen, ihrem gegenwartigen
Forschungsstand, ihrem Nutzwert fur medienokonomische und
kommunikationswissenschaftliche Analysen und ihrer
gesellschaftlichen Relevanz vorgestellt.

Internet und Handy avancieren zielstrebig zu Leitmedien der jungen
Generation. Jugendkulturen konstituieren sich zunehmend durch
Telekommunikationsangebote (SMS, Chat, interaktive Spiele) oder
werden durch diese beeinflusst. Der vorliegende Band fuhrt in die
vielfaltigen Fragestellungen ein und stellt die zentralen
Entwicklungen und Probleme sowie aktuelle Forschungsprojekte aus
einer interdisziplinaren Perspektive dar.
Der Band untersucht die besonderen ethischen Probleme, die die
Entwicklung autonom "handelnder" und "kommunizierender" medialer
Systeme aufwirft. Da sie Prozesse nicht nur eigenstandig
vollziehen, sondern zugleich steuern, stellt sich die Frage,
inwieweit sie in diesem "Handeln" und "Entscheiden" normativ
orientiert werden koennen. UEber fruhere Entwicklungen hinaus
entsteht zudem eine computergesteuerte digitale Infrastruktur, die
alle symbolischen Operationen integriert und an sich bindet.
Ausgehend von der Mediatisierungstheorie werden die medienethischen
Implikationen solcher Systeme diskutiert.
