3️⃣: From a longitudinal perspective, while crisis events may temporarily shift government agenda priorities, we argue that media and political systems continue to exert a dominant influence over time.
2️⃣: Different levels of government (i.e., national and regional, executive and legislative etc.) played a crucial role in shaping the respective agenda prioritization patterns. Focusing on a narrow set of actors may overlook the complexity and diversity of government communication practices.
1️⃣ We found that countries within the same media/political systems exhibited similar agenda prioritization patterns. This not only underscores the continued relevance of Hallin & Mancini’s framework, but also shows its adaptability in the context of prolonged crises.
🙌 New open-access publication 🙌
Using a systematic dataset collected from X and YouTube, we applied a multilingual topic model to compare government crisis agendas across 7 countries (🇩🇪🇮🇹🇪🇸🇸🇪🇳🇱🇬🇧🇺🇸) and 3 levels of government.
Key findings below 🧵

Ich kann es noch nicht ganz glauben, aber ich habe etwas gewonnen und das freut mich sehr! Gerade in der Wissenschaft sind Bestätigungen rar, daher umso schöner 🥰 für alle Early Career Menschen die das ausversehen sehen: das ist mein 1. preis in 6 Jahren - lasst euch nicht Stressen von sowas ☺️
✨ New open-access paper ✨
We explored language similarity between Querdenken (Telegram) and German politicians (Twitter). In short: AfD’s communication most similar, but parts of FDP and CDU/CSU also find common ground through discrediting left-wing politics.

Hallo Leute, hier jetzt auch noch mal von mir selbst. Ich habe ein kleines SciComm Projekt gestartet. Ich versuche auf TikTok Studien oder Konzepte die mich interessieren möglichst verständlich herunter zu brechen, schaut doch mal in Episode 2: vm.tiktok.com/ZNdP2smFW/
Ich freue mich über Feedback☺️
My friend and colleague @maxschindler.bsky.social has started a TikTok channel talking about social and communication science (in German).
Follow him👇science comm matters!

New paper hot off the press www.nature.com/articles/s41...
We analysed over 40,000 computer vision papers from CVPR (the longest standing CV conf) & associated patents tracing pathways from research to application. We found that 90% of papers & 86% of downstream patents power surveillance

Pornography receives massive online traffic, yet research on it remains niche—and the role of gender in this field even more so.
Together with my colleagues A. Andrich & @maxschindler.bsky.social, we examined >20 years of gender differences in porn studies:

And last, but certainly not least, huge congratulations to Dr. Anke Stoll who received the Best Dissertation Award for her impressive dissertation “Machine learning for automated content analysis of incivility in online discussion” #ICA25
Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Together with @emesedomahidi.bsky.social, K. Benmaarouf, N. Steinmetz, new study published in Intl. Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction. We compared social media sampling strategies for gov crisis comms. Deductive sampling proves superior for future research.

Excited that I had the opportunity to host a virtual workshop about the analysis of mobile logging data today at TU Ilmenau. Thanks a lot to @emesedomahidi.bsky.social and @maxschindler.bsky.social for the invitation and everybody who participated for their engagement!
Our first Panel is on Disinformation in political discourse and polarized debates using data from X/Twitter Telegram and Facebook.

How to study "contemporary" news? Join our discussion with the wonderful @jolukito.bsky.social on hybrid media systems, different forms of political language and their impact, and the role of CCS. Listen in here: t1p.de/getq0
In our latest episode, we engage in an insightful conversation with Christian Baden, delving into the nature and prevalence of online disputes. We examine their implications for research methods and theories, and place a special focus on CCS. Listen in here: t1p.de/8394j
