Book Description
Media events have been described as broadcasts that involve an engaged audience viewing the same event simultaneously; though this definition is still relevant, the way media outlets interact with and react to their audiences has greatly changed. This is in part due to the emergence of social media platforms which allow a participatory audience, something that genre-specific television channels now rely on. Because these genre-specific, 24-hour channels seek to hook viewers with hyperbolic presentation and the illusion of large media events, the original definition must be adapted. Global Perspectives on Media Events in Contemporary Society seeks to re-define the role of the media in relaying information about current events within a modern context. Determining what constitutes as and the proper presentation of a media event is of great importance given the ubiquity of media consumption. This book approaches the topic from historical, ceremonial, and globally cultural perspectives while addressing news, sports, and other significant current events. It is a vital resource for students and teachers of communication, media, and journalism, professionals in the media industry, policy makers, and sociologists.

Book Description
It seems to be a truism that today’s news media present the news in a more personal and direct way than print newspapers some twenty-five years ago. However, it is far from obvious, how this can be described linguistically. This study develops a model that integrates and differentiates between the various facets of personalisation from a linguistic point of view. It includes 1) contexts that involve the audience by inviting direct interaction and through the use of visual elements; 2) the focus on private individuals who are personally affected by news events; and 3) the use of communicative immediacy, for instance in the form of direct speech and first and second person pronouns. This model is applied to data from five British online news sites, demonstrating how individual features contribute to personalisation, how different features interact, and what personalisation strategies are used by news sites of different market orientations.

Book Description
Die Enthüllung der Panama Papers im April 2016 machte erneut deutlich, welche globale Wirkmacht Skandale entfalten können. Skandale bringen Politiker zu Fall, stürzen Wirtschaftslenker und beenden Sportkarrieren. Sie kommen in jedem gesellschaftlichen Feld vor, führen zu enormer medialer Berichterstattung und zu einer lebhaften öffentlichen Diskussion über Werte und Normen – sie sind ein soziales Phänomen. Als solches stellen Skandale sehr häufig auch einen Forschungsgegenstand unterschiedlicher Wissenschaften dar: Politikwissenschaftler analysieren zum Beispiel die Funktionsfähigkeit von politischen Regeln und Institutionen, die Kommunikationswissenschaft untersucht mögliche Wirkungen von Skandalberichterstattung und den Verlauf von Affären in unterschiedlichen Medien, in der Literaturwissenschaft werden Skandalautoren und ihr öffentliches Verhalten thematisiert, die Soziologie blickt auf den Geltungsbereich gesellschaftlicher Werte und Normen, die sich durch Skandaldiskurse verändern können. Der Band Scandalogy vereint Beiträge internationaler Forscherinnen und Forscher zum Themenfeld ›Skandal‹. Er präsentiert sowohl empirische Studien als auch theoretische Erkenntnisse, die 2016 bei der 1st International Conference in Scandalogy an der Universität Bamberg präsentiert wurden. Die Bandbreite reicht von kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Studien bis hin zu literaturwissenschaftlichen Analysen. Die Vielzahl der Fächer, die sich mit dem sozialen Phänomen des Skandals beschäftigen, zeigt, dass ›Skandalogie‹ ein eigenständiger Forschungsbereich ist.

Book Description
This volume brings together an international team of authors to investigate a wide range of issues concerning the fundamental role of media technologies in shaping contemporary emotional life. Chapters explore key aspects of the mediatisation of emotional life, feelings and interpersonal relations: love, intimacy, loneliness, friendship, family relations, erotic, sexual and romantic experiences. The authors explain the key aspects of strong user–media relationships and human relationships based on media use and investigate problems such as the formation of identity based on social media, the role of communication applications and the effects of mobile and locative media on our relationships, as well as artificial intelligence, on our perception of our emotions. With a focus on new media, the book also draws on the scope of traditional media that express and shape emotions, taking into account the classic approaches to emotionality of messages from the perspective of film creators and recipients. This cutting-edge collection will be of interest to scholars and students of media and communication studies, especially digital media and new technologies, psychology, pedagogy, sociology of everyday life and cultural studies. Chapters 5 and 10 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 license.
