Bewertungen zwischen Kontrahenten, als Qualitätsmaßstab rechtfertigt werden kann und wie dies fallbezogen, d. h. kontextabhängig geschehen muss. Diese Frage wird am Beispiel von Inhaltsanalysen zum russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine diskutiert. In einer qualitativen Metastudie von 22 Inhaltsanalysen wurden zunächst induktiv acht Annahmen zur Rechtfertigung der Anwendung des Maßstabs für diesen Fall ermittelt. Vier davon beziehen sich auf das Verhältnis der Medien zu ihrer Umwelt: zur journalistischen Profession, der Medien untereinander sowie zum Publikum und zur Politik. Vier weitere Begründungen sind vom Verhältnis der Medien zum Krieg als Thema abgeleitet: zum normativ „richtigen“ und „falschen“ Handeln der Kontrahenten, zur Antizipation negativer Folgen, zum Framing des Kriegs als Machtkonflikt (statt als Konflikt um Werte) und aus der Position des Werterelativismus. Die Forderung nach einer ausgewogenen Bewertung war in den Studien häufig mit der Kritik an einer angeblich zu negativen Sicht der russischen Seite verknüpft. Die Diskussion der Fundstellen zeigt, dass die Argumente zur Rechtfertigung einer ausgewogenen Bewertung für den vorliegenden Fall nur begrenzt oder gar nicht tauglich sind. Damit kann die Studie zeigen, dass das Problem der „False Balance“nicht nur im Bereich des Wissens, sondern auch des Wertens zu finden ist. Außerdem ist „False Balance“ damit nicht nur ein Phänomen im Journalismus, sondern auch in der Wissenschaft." (Abstract)

"Was ist die DMT? Eine für Deutschland repräsentative, wissenschaftlich fundierte Studie, die neun unterschiedliche Mediennutzungstypen identifiziert. Der Medienkonsum der Deutschen wird dabei als zentraler Bestandteil ihrer Lebenswelt verstanden und damit erklärt. Die DMT Digital Media Types sin
...
d die weiterentwickelte Neuauflage der renommierten Mediennutzertypologie (MNT) von ARD und ZDF. Die MNT wurde von 2011 bis 2020 gemeinsam von beiden Rundfunkanstalten durchgeführt.
[...] Wie profitieren Sie von der DMT? Die DMT liefert Ihnen aktuelle und tiefe Einblicke in die Lebenswelten gegenwärtiger Mediennutzungsgruppen. Mit dem Wissen können Sie: Medienprogramme für spezifische Nutzertypen schaffen; Serien und Podcasts mit Relevanz entwickeln; User-Reichweite erhöhen; digitale Werbewirkung und Strategien optimieren; die Performance von Produktplatzierungen steigern; Zielgruppen-Targeting für Dienstleistungen und Produkte verbessern; Medienforschung vertiefen.
Welche Inhalte bietet die DMT? 1. Medienkonsum: Im Fokus der DMT steht die Mediennutzung neun verschiedener Typen mit besonderem Augenmerk auf digitalen und sozialen Medien. „Klassische“ Medien wie Radio und TV kommen aber auch nicht zu kurz. DMT covert auch die Nutzung von Streamingdiensten sowie einem breiten Spektrum an Online-Medien. 2. Freizeitaktivitäten & Themeninteressen: Neben der Mediennutzung bildet die DMT auch die präferierten Freizeitaktivitäten und Themeninteressen der neun Typen ab. Diese reichen beispielsweise von Aktivitäten in der freien Natur über kulturelle Veranstaltungen bis hin zu Gaming. Die Themen erstrecken sich von Politik & Geschichte über Familie, Partnerschaft und Kinder bis hin zu Geschlechterfragen und Gleichberechtigung. 3. Werte & Einstellungen: Die DMT zeigt zudem, wie die neun verschiedenen Typen „ticken“: Wonach richten sie ihr Leben aus, was ist ihnen wichtig, welche Haltung haben sie zu bestimmten Themen. Die DMT ist eine Typologie, die die einzelnen Medien-Zielgruppen „mittendrin“, in ihrer Lebenswelt abholt, beschreibt – und deshalb für Anwendergruppen der Typologie so greifbar und wertvoll macht!
Welche Typen verbergen sich hinter „DMT“? Die untenstehende Grafik der DMT-Typen zeigt, welchen prozentualen Anteil jeder DMT-Typ in der Gesamtbevölkerung ab 14 Jahren ausmacht. Ein Beispiel: Der Anteil der Verantwortungsvollen an der Gesamtbevölkerung liegt bei 15%. Die Position auf der horizontalen Achse beschreibt den Digitalisierungsgrad der DMT Types, auf der vertikalen die Soziale Teilhabe. Außerdem verdeutlicht die Nähe und Distanz innerhalb der Verortung, dass es Überschneidungen zu bestimmten Typen gibt. Die Sicherheitsorientierten weisen zum Beispiel in einigen Dimensionen Ähnlichkeit mit den Neokulturellen auf. Auf der anderen Seite haben die Verantwortungsvollen wenig mit den Ablenkungssuchenden gemein. Weitere Informationen zu den einzelnen Typen finden Sie unter „DMT Types“.

Slightly fewer photographers received credit for their images. The bulk of images however continue to be from/about African nations, presented largely in rural settings. Although whole family units continue to be grossly under-represented, almost entirely absent, more men are featured in charity adverts in the period under review. Indeed more MW leaders are depicted, which is a good break away from what was obtainable previously, although it is difficult for us to know in what capacity leaders from both worlds are presented. Furthermore, considering recent trends in celebrity humanitarianism and the use of celebrity ambassadors, it is surprising that there are no portrayals of such from the majority world. This could be argued to be a missed opportunity for INGOs to re-present a different image of the global south." (Conclusions, page 26)

st for improving these portrayals. HarrisX surveyed nearly 10,000 entertainment consumers across 11 countries as well as 30 in-depth interviews with entertainment industry leaders. Consumers say they learn about other religions through entertainment and see the potential for faith-inclusive content to create understanding and dialogue in society. Yet, respondents share that when they see their religion or faith - and others - included in mainstream entertainment, they feel it’s often sensationalized or that the portrayal leans on stereotypes. Similarly, entertainment industry professionals also highlighted an opportunity to reach and connect with an underserved audience. They noted that producing this content not only represents a good business opportunity, but also provides the opportunity to demystify what consumers know about other faiths and create understanding between people of different belief systems."

"We discuss how a capability approach to information technology in neighbourhoods with low social capital can create embedded and sustainable Community Technology Partnerships (CTPs) that connect residents and institutions together, reducing barriers to social participation and collaborative action.
...
Current research indicates older people in deprived neighbourhoods have chronic problems with the effective sharing of community information, a key factor in the ‘digital divide’ (Niehaves and Plattfaut 2014). Manchester Age Friendly Neighbourhoods had 4,000 conversations in four ‘age-friendly’ resident-led neighbourhood partnerships in Manchester. This fieldwork demonstrated that the inability to create and share information within and across residents, communities and service providers is a key contributor to social isolation and barrier to local collaboration. MAFN developed a CTP to correlate perceptions that it was difficult to find out what was going on in the neighbourhood, with an exhaustive audit of actual activity. The result was collective surprise at finding out about dozens of events in each area that were previously either poorly communicated or which were not normally published at all, relying entirely on word of mouth. The CTP was developed using a capability model (Kleine 2013) to discover and overcome both the social and technical barriers preventing the hosts of neighbourhood activities collaboratively and sustainably self-publishing their event information. This resulted in the production of PlaceCal, an holistic social and technical toolkit that ensures groups and individuals have the technology, skills, infrastructure and support to publish information, creating a distributed network of community information."

• Facebook remains one of the most-used social networks overall, but its influence on journalism is declining as it shifts its focus away from news. It also faces new challenges from established networks such as YouTube and vibrant youth-focused networks such as TikTok. The Chinese-owned social network reaches 44% of 18–24s across markets and 20% for news. It is growing fastest in parts of Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America.
• When it comes to news, audiences say they pay more attention to celebrities, influencers, and social media personalities than journalists in networks like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. This contrasts sharply with Facebook and Twitter, where news media and journalists are still central to the conversation.
• Much of the public is sceptical of the algorithms used to select what they see via search engines, social media, and other platforms. Less than a third (30%) say that having stories selected for me on the basis of previous consumption is a good way to get news, 6 percentage points lower than when we last asked the question in 2016. Despite this, on average, users still slightly prefer news selected this way to that chosen by editors or journalists (27%), suggesting that worries about algorithms are part of a wider concern about news and how it is selected.
• Despite hopes that the internet could widen democratic debate, we find fewer people are now participating in online news than in the recent past. Aggregated across markets, only around a fifth (22%) are now active participators, with around half (47%) not participating in news at all. In the UK and United States, the proportion of active participators has fallen by more than 10 percentage points since 2016. Across countries we find that this group tends to be male, better educated, and more partisan in their political vie ws.
• Trust in the news has fallen, across markets, by a further 2 percentage points in the last year, reversing in many countries the gains made at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic. On average, four in ten of our total sample (40%) say they trust most news most of the time. Finland remains the country with the highest levels of overall trust (69%), while Greece (19%) has the lowest after a year characterised by heated arguments about press freedom and the independence of the media."

• News use across online platforms is fragmenting, with six networks now reaching at least 10% of our respondents, compared with just two a decade ago. YouTube is used for news by almost a third (31%) of our global sample each week, WhatsApp by around a fifth (21%), while TikTok (13%) has overtaken Twitter (10%), now rebranded X, for the first time.
• Linked to these shifts, video is becoming a more important source of online news, especially with younger groups. Short news videos are accessed by two-thirds (66%) of our sample each week, with longer formats attracting around half (51%). The main locus of news video consumption is online platforms (72%) rather than publisher websites (22%), increasing the challenges around monetisation and connection.
• Although the platform mix is shifting, the majority continue to identify platforms including social media, search, or aggregators as their main gateway to online news. Across markets, only around a fifth of respondents (22%) identify news websites or apps as their main source of online news – that’s down 10 percentage points on 2018. Publishers in a few Northern European markets have managed to buck this trend, but younger groups everywhere are showing a weaker connection with news brands than they did in the past.
• Turning to the sources that people pay most attention to when it comes to news on various platforms, we find an increasing focus on partisan commentators, influencers, and young news creators, especially on YouTube and TikTok. But in social networks such as Facebook and X, traditional news brands and journalists still tend to play a prominent role.
• Concern about what is real and what is fake on the internet when it comes to online news has risen by 3 percentage points in the last year with around six in ten (59%) saying they are concerned. The figure is considerably higher in South Africa (81%) and the United States (72%), both countries that have been holding elections this year.
• Worries about how to distinguish between trustworthy and untrustworthy content in online platforms is highest for TikTok and X when compared with other online networks. Both platforms have hosted misinformation or conspiracies around stories such as the war in Gaza, and the Princess of Wales’s health, as well as so-called ‘deep fake’ pictures and videos."

the process. In doing so, we use 35 qualitative interviews with conflict journalists working for news media in German-speaking countries, and draw on established theories of trauma exposure, its mental consequences, and ways to cope with them. Findings show that conflict journalists run a significant risk of experiencing trauma, either directly as targets of violence, or indirectly as eye-witnesses and as recipients of narrative accounts and vivid images of human suffering. Respondents noted a glaring lack of organizational support and prevention structure, which they connected to a problematic newsroom culture characterized by sexism, machoism, and a fierce competition."
