Lecture Series | Dr Silke Fürst – New Dynamics of Public Attention in the Hybrid Media System
Audience metrics and rankings have gained importance in digital societies and are omnipresent in social media, journalism, and public discourse. This talk sheds light on how usage data trigger specific dynamics of public attention in the hybrid media system and contribute to the rapid amplification of attention across different media. Nontransparent data and narratives driven by vested interests play an important role here, which calls for more critical research and public scholarship.
