SIM-Studie 2021: Senior*innen, Information, Medien. Basisuntersuchung zum Medienumgang von Personen ab 60 Jahren in Deutschland

Thomas Rathgeb, Michael Doh et al.

Stuttgart: Medienpädagogischer Forschungsverbund Südwest (mpfs) (2021), 87 pp.

"Die SIM-Studie stellt einen grundlegenden Situationsbericht zum Medienumgang Älterer in Deutschland mit einem speziellen Fokus auf digitale Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien dar. Hierfür wurde im Zeitraum vom 22. März bis 31. Mai 2021 eine repräsentative Stichprobe von 3000 Personen ... ab 60 Jahren telefonisch befragt. Zunächst zeigen die Ergebnisse der SIM-Studie 2021, dass Seniorinnen und Senioren in Deutschland durchaus über ein reichhaltiges (Geräte)-Repertoire zur Mediennutzung verfügen: In allen Haushalten ist ein Fernsehgerät vorhanden, auch ein Radiogerät gehört bei fast allen (91 %) zur Grundausstattung. 83 Prozent haben einen Internetanschluss, 78 Prozent W-LAN. Im Besitz eines Computers sind drei Viertel der Haushalte (77 %). Ein Smartphone ist bei 72 Prozent vorhanden und auch ein Tablet ist in fast der Hälfte der Haushalte verfügbar (48%). Die Ausstattung spiegelt sich auch in der Nutzung wieder: 94 Prozent der befragten Personen sehen jeden oder fast jeden Tag fern. Auch das Smartphone wird von 63 Prozent der Personen ab 60 Jahren täglich genutzt, von zwei Fünfteln sogar mehrmals täglich (41 %). Jeder Zweite nutzt täglich einen Computer (51 %). Knapp jeder Dritte ein Tablet (30 %). Angesichts der hohen Zahlen beim Gerätebesitz und deren Nutzung verwundert es nicht, dass für einen Großteil der Befragten auch die Internetnutzung mittlerweile zum Medienalltag dazugehört: 81 Prozent geben an, "zumindest selten" online zu sein. Allerdings ist ein Alterseffekt erkennbar: Sind es bei den 60- bis 69-Jährigen 92 Prozent, zählen sich bei den über 80-Jährigen nur 51 Prozent zu den Onlinerinnen und Onlinern. Auch das Geschlecht (Männer sind häufiger online als Frauen) und der formale Bildungsgrad (Befragte mit Abitur/ Studium sind häufiger online als mit Haupt-/ Volksschulabschluss) spielen u.a. eine Rolle. Auch konkrete Online-Aktivitäten wurden im Rahmen der SIM-Studie 2021 untersucht. Bei der Frage, was die befragten Onlinerinnen und Onliner im Internet machen, kristallisieren sich vor allem vier Tätigkeiten heraus: Knapp zwei Drittel nutzen täglich WhatsApp oder vergleichbare Dienste (64 %), etwa jede/-r Zweite informiert sich zu aktuellen Themen/Nachrichten im Internet (53 %) oder nutzt Suchmaschinen (50%), über E-Mail kommunizieren 42 Prozent jeden oder fast jeden Tag. Kommunikation und Information/Recherche scheinen also wichtige Motive zur Nutzung des Internets durch Ältere darzustellen. Bei der genaueren Betrachtung des Informationsverhaltens zeigen die Ergebnisse außerdem: Das Thema ist entscheidend für die Wahl des Mediums. Steht bei der Information über "Aktuelles aus der Welt" oder das "Thema Corona" das Fernsehen bei 61 bzw. 49 Prozent der Befragten als Quelle an erster Stelle, punktet die Tageszeitung bei der Information über "Regionales" (52 %). Zur Beantworung "konkreter Problemstellungen" (43 %), Informationen zu "neuen Produkten" (40 %) oder "Gesundheit und Pflege" (26 %) wird vor allem das Internet herangezogen."

Media and Information Literacy Index. Country Report Namibia

Dennis Reineck

Bonn: Deutsche Welle DW Akademie (2020), 25 pp.

"Young Namibians are embracing the digital transformation, according to indicative findings from the present MIL INDEX country study. Interestingly, the youths that took part in eight focus groups conducted at the end of 2018 in Windhoek and Rundu are immersed in digital communication but are aware ... of the ambivalent nature of the news and information sources they find on social media and related Internet services. The importance of a critical mindset when navigating the World Wide Web was stressed by the eight experts interviewed as part of the study. This MIL INDEX study addresses five dimensions of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) according to DW Akademie’s MIL model: access, analysis, reflection, creation, and action. The focus groups conducted for this study reveal that there is a rural/urban divide in terms of access and use of media. The more rural (and older) groups use radio and television on a regular basis, while the more urban (and younger) groups tend to regard traditional media as yesterday’s media. This shift is in line with the rise of social media. Information uptake is coincidental and journalistic content is intermingled with all sorts of trivia when consumed in social networks. Smartphones are regarded by many as a substitute for newspapers, radio, and television. Amongst those who continue using traditional media, radio is turned to more often for information while TV is regarded more as an entertainment medium. Considering analytical skills, there is a certain disenchantment of the Namibian youths with journalistic media, the reporting being considered not close enough to the interests and issues of the youth. But it was interesting to find that the focus group participants’ appraisal of media in terms of trustworthiness is the exact opposite of their consumption patterns. While the discussions documented frequent use of social media these are evaluated as least trustworthy, whereas newspapers are rated highly on the trustworthiness scale but were hardly ever read. There is an awareness of the ambivalent quality of news and information on social media, but the youths cannot always name sources they consider produce high-quality information. The results in the reflection dimension are ambivalent. The youths can recount numerous cases of cyberbullying and disinformation (“fake news”). But the accompanying survey shows that while they reject hate speech and disinformation, there is a certain willingness to accept cyberbullying as given. This is echoed in the focus groups where participants’ advice is often to ignore hateful messages, rather than do something about them. However, the groups do discuss many other strategies in coming to terms with and combatting cyberbullying and disinformation. Rarely do they reflect the motivations that lie behind such behavior. It was also interesting to note that disinformation is mainly discussed with regards to online rather than traditional media." (Executive summary) more

Media and Information Literacy Index. Country Report Uganda

Dennis Reineck, Luise Krumm

Bonn: Deutsche Welle DW Akademie (2020), 25 pp.

"Young Ugandans are reluctant to voice their concerns and take part in public discussions according to indicative findings from the MIL INDEX country study presented here. The eight focus groups conducted for the study in Kampala and Bugembe early in 2019 revealed that youths are using both traditio ... nal and social media extensively, but discussions of political and public issues take place mainly in closed circles on platforms like WhatsApp. “It is a suffocated environment,” says media expert Gerald Businge. This MIL INDEX study is aimed at obtaining a concise picture of media- and information-related skills amongst youths under the age of 35 in Uganda. It addresses five dimensions of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) based on DW Akademie’s MIL model: access, analysis, reflection, creation, and action. The focus group participants see themselves living in the “the dot-com era” though access to the Internet and even television is far from universal in Uganda. The smartphone is the most popular device and it serves as a benchmark when judging more traditional media (radio, television, and newspapers). Social media are used alongside traditional media, but there is a feeling that traditional media, especially radio, are losing touch with the Ugandan youth of today. There is a general neglect of printed media, based on an aversion to long reads and often also difficulties in understanding them. Some participants feel they are addicted to social media and online messengers. When it comes to analytical skills, the Ugandan youths in the focus groups are not very critical of the media environment they live in despite the overwhelming evidence that state control, intimidation, and media concentration are problems in Uganda. But they do pick up on news bias and sensationalism. They are also aware of the fact that online sources and social media information should not be trusted blindly. Participants can differentiate between quality and tabloid-type media, but an alarming proportion does not know their constitutional right to freedom of expression. The level of reflection on the part of focus group participants is medium to low. They can render many cases of cyberbullying/hate speech, disinformation and cybercrime, though they are not always aware of the difference. Especially the examples of cyber-harassment that are recounted in the focus groups reveal that female youths are primarily targeted. At the same time there seems to be little in the way of counselling for victims and there was not enough reflection of the background to such malevolent forms of communication. Strategies in coping with them are not very elaborate, though some groups did mention methods of verification in the context of disinformation several times. There is considerable potential for support when it comes to dealing with cyberbullying, cyber-harassment, hate speech and cybercrime." (Executive summary) more
