Nicht nur die Erforschung des Klimawandels ist komplex, sondern auch die Analyse der Kommunikation über diese Forschung. Kommunikation über den Klimawandel ist nicht nur Wissenschaftskommunikation, sondern schon seit langem mindestens im gleichen Maße politische Kommunikation. Das zeigt sich auch in den Aufsätzen dieses Bandes. Der Band enthält 12 Beiträge zur Klimakommunikation in den verschiedenen Phasen des Kommunikationsprozesses: angefangen mit der Analyse von Veranstaltungskommunikation, über die Betrachtung medialer Kommunikationsinhalte bis hin zur Untersuchung der vielfältigen Reaktionen der Rezipierenden. Schwerpunkte bilden Ansätzen zur Segmentierung der Öffentlichkeit sowie experimentelle Studien, in denen die Wirkung verschiedener Kommunikationsstrategien getestet wird

Rough sex: current state of debate and research :
Rough Sex: aktueller Diskussions- und Forschungsstand. - In: Zeitschrift für Sexualforschung, ISSN 1438-9460, Bd. 36 (2023), 2, S. 102-111
Unter hartem Sex (engl. rough sex) wird aggressiver konsensueller Sex verstanden. Dazu gehören beispielsweise Aktivitäten wie Aufs-Bett-Werfen, Kleider-Herunterreißen, Haare-Ziehen, Schlagen oder Würgen. Rough-Sex-Praktiken sind in den letzten Jahren medial sichtbarer und vermutlich auch populärer geworden. Ihnen sind ganze Pornografie-Gattungen gewidmet und sie werden in Sozialen Medien diskutiert. Große Bevölkerungsteile berichten eigene Erfahrungen mit ausgewählten harten Sexpraktiken. Die Normalisierung von Rough Sex wird mit verschiedenen Gefahren, insbesondere für Frauen, in Verbindung gebracht. Der vorliegende Beitrag fasst den aktuellen Diskussionsstand zusammen, weist auf Forschungslücken hin und diskutiert Konsequenzen für die sexualpädagogische Praxis.

Media trust and the COVID-19 pandemic: an analysis of short-term trust changes, their ideological drivers and consequences in Switzerland. - In: Communication research, ISSN 1552-3810, Bd. 50 (2023), 2, S. 205-229
We analyze short-term media trust changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, their ideological drivers and consequences based on panel data in German-speaking Switzerland. We thereby differentiate trust in political information from different types of traditional and non-traditional media. COVID-19 serves as a natural experiment, in which citizens? media trust at the outbreak of the crisis is compared with the same variables after the severe lockdown measures were lifted. Our data reveal that (1) media trust is consequential as it is associated with people's willingness to follow Covid-19 regulations; (2) media trust changes during the pandemic, with trust levels for most media decreasing, with the exception of public service broadcasting; (3) trust losses are hardly connected to ideological divides in Switzerland. Our findings highlight that public service broadcasting plays an exceptional role in the fight against a pandemic and that contrary to the US, no partisan trust divide occurs.

Sports teams' home market size in the digital age - analyzing social media drawing power. - Ilmenau : Ilmenau University of Technology, Institute of Economics, 2023. - 1 Online-Ressource (18 Seiten). - (Ilmenau economics discussion papers ; vol. 28, no. 175)
The sport economic literature relies on the city size to proxy for the size of the home market of sports teams. This paper seeks to clarify whether the commonly used definition for home market size in sports economics is actually a valid measure for revenue potential in the modern digital age. Specifically, in this empirical exercise the interest is to investigate to what extent social media following is adding to our understanding of home markets. In doing so, it closely connects to the literature on outcome uncertainty, by considering the compounded season uncertainty for home games, and the literature on superstars in sport as a determinant for demand. The econometric analysis uses NFL stadium attendance data between 2009 and 2019 to examine the question of the relationship of social media and stadium attendance. It applies censored tobit models to estimate the effects. The results suggest a significant relationship between social media following and stadium attendance, even when controlling for the metropolitan area where the stadium is located. It argues that our commonly used definition of home market size is built on the outdated concept of localized markets and should be revisited.

Environmental communication publications in Indonesia’s leading communication journals : a systematic review. - In: Jurnal Aspikom, ISSN 2548-8309, Bd. 8 (2023), 1, S. 15-28
As an emerging country, Indonesia is facing many environmental problems, with some of the most critical being plastic waste, severe deforestation, and climate change. Under such conditions, communication science plays an important role in pointing to the best way to inform the public so as to stimulate engagement and action to solve these problems. In this article, a systematic literature review of papers on environmental communication published in three leading communication journals in Indonesia was conducted. The findings show that despite the severe environmental problems in Indonesia, a limited number of studies on environmental communication have been published, and only a few methods and designs have been used. Therefore, more attention from communication scholars and intellectuals in Indonesia is needed to address environmental problems in their research. Creating an environmental communication division in existing communication associations is proposed as a practical solution, among others, and is discussed in the outlook section of this study

Goodbye, gender stereotypes? : trait attributions to politicians in 11 years of news coverage. - In: Journalism & mass communication quarterly, ISSN 2161-430X, Bd. 100 (2023), 3, S. 473-497
In this study, we examine gender differences in political news coverage to determine whether the media employ stereotypical traits in portrayals of 1,095 U.S. politicians. Using a sample of over 5 million U.S. news stories published from 2010 to 2020, we study the media’s attribution of gender-linked (feminine, masculine) and political (leadership, competence, integrity, empathy) traits to U.S. politicians and present new longitudinal evidence for political gender stereotyping in the news. Our findings show that certain gender differences are present in news coverage (e.g., physical traits), some of which have remained unchanged over the past decade (e.g., integrity traits).

COVID-19 as a catalyst of global risk society : institutionalization, de-Westernization, and datafication of crisis communication research. - In: The COVID-19 pandemic and risks in East Asia, (2023), 2, S. 1-27
The coronavirus pandemic has unraveled the nature of the global risk society we live in today, perhaps more than any other event before. The character of this protracted crisis - transboundary and systemic - necessitates a global and comparative perspective on risk and crisis communication. This chapter adopts this global and comparative perspective in charting the historical development of risk and crisis communication research (with insights on the contexts that influence knowledge production in the field). It also explores not only the trends and core findings in the state of research but also the differences between the norms and perspectives from the so-called mainstream “West” (Western Europe and North America) and those originating from Asia. The discussion on these differences covers the empirical research that challenges the dominant assumptions of oft-cited frameworks from the mainstream West. The realities beyond the mainstream West, as reflected in the findings of empirical research, justify the de-Westernization of the research agenda, the elements of which were also described in the chapter. Last, critical issues arising from increasingly sophisticated technologies, such as mis- and disinformation and state surveillance, are discussed, as well as possible research trajectories to keep pace with such developments.
