Inside the heads of journalists. How do they construct the news. Why do journalists pay attention only to some press releases? Why do they reflect some events and some not? Why do they react on certain campaigns and totally ignore the rest? In my lecture I will reveal some secrets how journalists reflect and reconstruct the reality. In a subsequent workshop we will be working on some case studies from a cultural sphere. |

Are We Human, or Are We Hamster? Reflecting on Memes, Algorithms and the Transcoding of the Public Sphere (English) Consumer capitalism of the twentieth century saw the rise of mass-production, mass media and public relations. Shoshanna Zuboff’s concept of surveillance capitalism draws attention to new media companies business models - from automating user information flows processing to potentially automating user behaviors. The crisis of journalism is connected to its business models and revenue streams which are linked to consumer capitalism. Media institutions’ past attempts to compete with new media companies on the attention market seem to have been self-detrimental and have led to click-baiting, the hamsterization of journalism and generalized loss of credibility. No matter how much journalists and media institutions are willing to sacrifice quality over timeliness, the inescapable fact is that they cannot compete with crowd-sourced content (and attention seeking behavior) and algorithms in terms of speed or volume. Citizens, NGOs and politicians have joined journalists on the hamster wheel described by Dean Starkman in 2011, all competing for each-other’s attention on the Web and social media, running a race run by seemingly occult algorithms. Some members of online networked publics on Facebook idealize the platform as the locus of the contemporary public sphere. But is it an arena for consensus building based on rational debate, or is it shaping consensus and dissent by the characteristics of evolutionary computation and machine learning algorithms? This lecture reflects on the algorithmic traces and narrative-database transcoding in social communication by bridging Lev Manovich’s principles of new media language with Shoshanna Zuboff’s theories on surveillance capitalism. |

English language. Lecture title: Closing the loop for a circular economy The successful transition to a circular economy will be achieved only when society moves from the traditional linear model of ‘take-make-dispose’ to a circular model where individuals engage in pro-environmental behaviour. Although people profess a willingness to act in a pro-environmental way, they often fail to do so in practice which is known as the value-action gap (Blake, 1999). The research question chosen for this study set out to examine the value-action gap for recycled products and explore the role of values and reasons in understanding pro-environmental behaviour in a competitive shopping context. Lecture Session (a) The challenge of achieving a Circular Economy at a micro level (b) The value-action gap in closing the loop for routine products (c) Empirical research from an Irish context |

Responsibility, Diversity, Independence and Accountability – the core values of public service media are the journalistic path which is grounded on 20 years in within the Austrian Public Broadcasting Association the ORF (the bilingual youth culture radio station FM4 and the current affairs, informational Radio Ö1). Multimedia approaches (Online & Podcasting & Video) with the Austrian Press Agency accompanied the radio experience for some of the time. Overall developing a commercial radio station in Vienna has been a successful, fun and creative experience. Whereby the major impact was and always will be focusing consequently on radio journalistic production covering topics by integrating diverse perspectives over some time-span, based on longer radio reports, features or broadcasts. The need of portraying themes as a whole with a lively and appealing realization is needed not just shown in many surveys but by the journalistic fulfillment for society.

The content of the teaching programme will contain an inside experience of the production of radiodocumentaries i.e. the basic secrets of producing serials for radio and audio. With some listening examples of award-winning radiodocumentaries the students are able to analyse basic elements needed for a vivid narration in terms of creating an successful arc of suspense and present some results in groups. The common theme of the lecture/workshop is following current journalistic claims on important sociopolitical or -economical related insides. This content is inspirational for conceptualizing individual topics/storyboards for radio and audio serials in within groups. |
