Este artigo visa contribuir para o debate sobre a desconexão digital por meio do conceito de resistência, um construto relacionado e mais estabelecido nos estudos dos media e da comunicação. Para tal, realizámos uma meta-análise aos artigos científicos que abordam ambos os conceitos e destacamos duas tendências principais: uma perspetiva centrada n...

The past few decades of journalism studies have been characterized by a focus on change, from the transforming digital media ecology, to shifting usage patterns, transitioning business models, and other pressing developments. However, specifying such changes in relation to news audiences and engagement is challenging. This article aims to unfold th...

Despite an “audience turn” in journalism studies, confusion persists about the experiences driving audience engagement. Young adults are especially intriguing in this regard, as they have grown up in digital environments, are less willing to pay for journalism, and lack key historical catalysts for the formation of news habits. Accordingly, this ar...
Article
This article examines the public connection and understanding of public communication campaigns. Public communication campaigns are widespread, but the audience dimension of the campaign category itself is still a blind spot in research. Drawing on focus group interviews and a survey among Danish citizens, the article shows that public campaigns ar...

In media systems theory, the Nordic countries are often held to constitute a specific media system (Brüggemann et al., 2014). In this article, we put this claim to the test in the area of news consumption. Based on findings about the four Nordic countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland in the annual Reuters Institute Digital News Report (Newm...

As the notion of citizen science (CS) has developed within the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, researchers and practitioners have concentrated on scientific or educational outcomes, and on the partnership between academia and society. The “citizens” in citizen science, however, have been under-theorized. A variety of terms ar...

Research into people’s digital news use centres on the here and now, which means sustained attention to the processes influencing changing consumption patterns is often perfunctory. Accordingly, this article advances journalism studies scholarship by developing a comprehensive analytical framework to investigate such processes, focusing on the emer...
Article
Audience reception research was a child of the broadcasting age, emerging strongly as a subdiscipline in media and communication research in the 1980s. Many saw reception research as a cross-fertilizing force theoretically and methodologically, bringing together research traditions from the humanities and the social sciences, and adding a qualitati...
Article
The entry defines audiences in a digital, mediatized society as the people who, in their capacity as social actors, are attending to, negotiating the meaning of, and sometimes participating in the multimodal processes initiated or carried by institutional media. The first part of the entry discusses the concept of audience in relation to a number o...

Inspired by the contributions to this volume, and anchored in recent theories of mediatization, this postscript reflects on the achievements and potentials of the figurational approach in cross-media communication studies. Seeing the volume as a demonstration of the development of the figurational approach from a helpful heuristic lens to a mature...
Chapter
Looking over the landscape of recent debates about mediatization, this chapter opens up a discussion of the theoretical and methodological challenges arising from the need to systematically explore audience dynamics as an integral part of mediatization processes. The chapter directs its argument towards institutionalist mediatization theory as well...

Facebook has often been hailed for affording participation and thus for representing an opportunity for institutions to interact with the public. However, research concerning how institutions are actualizing this communicative opportunity is still scarce. In this article, we seek to address this gap by investigating empirically how one type of inst...
Article
In the last couple of decades there has been an unprecedented explosion of news media platforms and formats, as a succession of digital and social media have joined the ranks of legacy media. We live in a ‘hybrid media system’ (Chadwick, 2013), in which people build their cross-media news repertoires from the ensemble of old and new media available...
Chapter
The entry defines reception analysis as essentially oriented towards the qualitative exploration of audiences' sense-making of media content in context, and by extension of how audiences make sense of their media-saturated lifeworlds. The origins of reception research are described in opposition to textual analysis and effects research. The entry d...

Developments within the “knowledge society,” especially those resulting from technological innovation, have intensified an interest in the relationship between different contexts and multiple sites of learning across what is often termed as formal, non-formal and informal learning environments.

Stuart Halls artikel ”Fjernsynsdiskursens indkodning og afkodning” (1973) er for længst blevet optaget i den internationale kommunikationsforsknings Hall of Fame. Det skete officielt i 2003, da den var én af de historiske publikationer, der blev gjort til genstand for kanonisering i bogen Canonic Texts in Media Research. Are There Any? Should There...
Article
The growing use of social media like Facebook and Twitter is in the process of changing how news is produced, disseminated, and discussed. But so far, we have only a preliminary understanding of (1) how important social media are as sources of news relative to other media, (2) the extent to which people use them to find news, (3) how many use them...
Article
This article presents and discusses three different approaches to the exploration of the cross-media challenges facing news audiences, as they seek access to, navigate in and make sense of the multitude of news sources across print, broadcasting, online and mobile media platforms. From a modernized uses and gratifications perspective, based on the...
Article
The article traces, from the perspective of audience reception research, the gradual methodological rapprochement of once hostile methodological paradigms: the quantitatively oriented uses-and-gratifications research and the qualitatively anchored reception research. While recognizing that the methodological differences stem ultimately from differe...
Chapter
This chapter traces the insights about citizenship offered by audience reception research since its inception in the 1980s, through a theoretical and analytical portrait of five historical stages of reception research about mediated citizenship: (1) hegemonic citizenship; (2) monitorial citizenship; (3) popular citizenship; (4) participatory citize...
Article
One of the most significant challenges in researching the social aspects of contemporary societies is to adapt the methodological approach to complex digital media environments. Learning processes take place in this complex environment, and they include formal and informal experiences (learning in school, home, and real-virtual communities), peer c...
Article
The article offers new insights for democracy and for news producers by mapping the use and users of today's cross-media news landscape, as the everyday consumption of news across the range of available news media and formats is shifting reflecting transformations of technology, culture and lifestyles. Theoretically the study is anchored in Haberma...

Artiklen fremlægger første del af en analyse, der på en ny måde kortlægger danskernes brug og oplevelse af nyheder i det media- liserede samfund, på tværs af de forskellige – traditionelle og digi- tale – medieplatforme og genrer. Teoretisk er undersøgelsen for- ankret i offentlighedsteorien og den begrebsmæssige nyudvikling af teorien i retning af...

The article reports from a research project about how the media function as a democratic resource for citizens in Denmark. It brings together discourse- and audienceanalysis perspectives into one research design, questioning the often simplified notions of media power found in media/politics research. Our three-tiered study explores the media/citiz...

In the fall of 1997 a poster campaign was launched in all commuter train stations in the Greater Co- penhagen area to inform people that it was possible to take a bicycle on the trains. The dominant ele- ment of the poster is a big photograph of a young man, tonsured and wearing a leather jacket, and with a pleased smile on his face. He is sitting...
Article
This article discusses the empirical and theoretical challenges facing reception researchers in their encounter with qualitative audience data. It does so by criticizing the one-dimensional theoretical framework set up by Stuart Hall in his famous encoding/decoding article. This framework has resulted in an exclusive focus in reception studies on i...

We (...) look for the political in the wrong place, on the wrong floors and on the wrong pages of the newspapers. Those decision-ma-king areas which had been protected by the political in industrial capitalism – the private sector, business, science, towns, everyday life and so on – are caught in the storms of politi-cal conflicts in reflexive mode...

... This highlights how the shape of media repertoires, as well as its internal constellation of practices, is constantly in motion and can change in various ways. An argument which resonates with more recent theoretical contributions to the media repertoire approach (Ytre-Arne 2019; Vulpius et al. 2022). For example, certain practices might shift from the periphery ...
... La masificación y centralidad del uso de las redes sociales digitales ha influido en cómo accedemos a la información y ha modificado los hábitos de consumo informativo de las audiencias (Albarello, 2020;Catalina-García et al., 2019;Peters et al., 2022). La instantaneidad y omnipresencia de las redes sociales son atractivas para generadores y lectores de contenido, especialmente los más jóvenes (Anderson & Jiang, 2018;Galan et al., 2019;Tarullo & Frezzotti, 2021). ...
... Some had a humorous twist, some focused on memories from before Covid-19, and some contained an appeal for public participation. Importantly, all these public campaigns contained a risk perspective (Almlund et al., 2020). ...
... [44, p.1]. The idea of augmenting the visitor experience by adding additional information through sound or visual content is common in the art museum domain and evidenced by the ubiquitous audio guides and guided tours as well as other sound-based augmentations [17,26,36,53]. A few projects achieve augmentation through visual techniques like AR, VR, and projections superimposed on artworks. ...
... Together with Sweden, Norway, and Finland, Denmark is clustered at the extreme end of the Democratic Corporatists model (Hallin and Mancini 2004), and the country's media system model may be seen to represent a distinct Nordic type, emphasizing the mix of professionalism, press subsidies, and an inclusive media market (Brüggemann et al. 2014). In general, the Nordic media markets are healthy, scoring high on trust and have low media polarization (Schrøder, Blach-Ørsten, and Kaemsgaard Eberholst 2020). Nordic journalists in both private and public media prefer the role of detached watchdog over acting for societal change or maximum reach, and they have traditionally felt shielded from political and economic pressures (Ahva et al. 2017). ...
... Cultural participation has recently attracted renewed attention from scholars and practitioners (Gross & Wilson, 2020;Stevenson et al., 2017). The participatory revolution (Knudsen, 2016;Noy, 2017;Hetland & Schrøder, 2020) sees museums called to change their model of interaction with the public and, more generally, with stakeholders. This trend has been further increased by digital technologies, in particular the Internet and social media, thanks to which access to museum communication and therefore to culture becomes "mass." ...

Entre elas encontram-se o Livro dos visitantes (Macdonald, 2005;Santos, 2014), o Livro de reclamações, o Livro de sugestões (Raposo, 2020, pp. 111-112), os comments cards (Pedretti & Soren, 2003), os inquéritos facultativos, as redes sociais online dos museus (Laursen et al., 2017) e os inquéritos representativos com solicitação individual de participação. Em Portugal, a existência de Livro de reclamações em museus é obrigatória por lei 1 . ...
... With a wealth of media available at any given time, authors have argued that contemporary users navigate a lush media landscape by selectively compiling their own media repertoires (Hasebrink & Domeyer 2012;Taneja et al. 2012;Hasebrink & Hepp 2017). However, these repertoires are thought to be more than just "pearls on a string" (Peters & Schrøder 2018, 1083, or a sum of the different media practices that users regularly engage in (Hasebrink & Hepp 2017: 367). Rather, the different components within a user's media repertoire are interrelated in meaningful ways (Hasebrink & Hepp 2017). ...
... 162). For Schrøder's (2019), 'any analysis of mediatization processes should, in principle, incorporate associated audience activities. . .considering how this audience activity exerts a formative influence, however small, on media and thereby on the relationship between the media and other societal institutions' (p. ...
... En relación con el segundo objetivo, si tenemos en cuenta cómo se establecen estas conexiones en el aula, hemos visto un conjunto de estrategias pedagógicas de personalización del aprendizaje que ayudan a la promoción de estas conexiones entre aprendizajes (ver Figura 2). Principalmente, la estrategia "trabajo sobre problemas de la comunidad y partir de situaciones cotidianas del alumno" permite identificar los conocimientos y las habilidades que el alumnado ha adquirido en contextos no escolares para ayudarles a aprender los contenidos curriculares (Silseth, 2017) y que éstos se alineen con sus intereses u objetivos personales (Esteban-Guitart, 2019), la cual cosa favorece la integración de los aprendizajes y aumenta la capacidad de los alumnos para aprender a través de los distintos contextos (Erstad et al., 2016). Sin embargo, es importante señalar que la mera presencia de estas situaciones cotidianas no garantiza el establecimiento de conexiones entre aprendizajes, sino que es necesario también la reflexión y valoración de estas experiencias de aprendizaje significativas para el alumnado. ...
