How do digital media change the way we read aloud, a key cultural tool for reading socialization? This qualitative study focuses on this central question. Using the structural-genetic approach to socialization research, the book analyzes the reading-aloud practices of eight families from data obtained through videography. Of particular interest is the impact of the digital picture book on the interactional structure of reading aloud.

Search engines enable access to information on the Internet and transform it into a limitless information portal. Content that cannot be located with search engines ceases to exist for Internet users – and this poses a risk to the individual user and to society. This book examines the phenomenon from the perspectives of communication science, law, education, and technology.

Perspectives on Privacy

Increasing Regulation in the USA, Canada, Australia and European Countries

Dieter Dörr, Russell L. Weaver

Volume 9 in this series

Due to rapid developments in the communication sector, the right to privacy faces new challenges. The increasing digitization and internationalization of communication processes have raised a number of issues, and lead to conflicts wherever national legal systems and moral concepts collide. Particularly in the areas of data protection and liability of online service providers, universal approaches are required. This title presents positions of specialists in Europe, Australia, the US and Canada which contribute to the international dialogue and thereby offer a starting point for a sustainable policy for the protection of privacy rights

Politische Kommunikation in Zeiten des Medienwandels

Thomas Roessing, Nicole Podschuweit

Volume 6 in this series

At a number of moments in history, political communication has undergone radical changes. Today, the Internet is the latest and most conspicuous change in the media landscape. However, it is shortsighted to imagine that the processes of media change and media convergence have fully run their course after the hectic ascendance of the Internet. To better organize our thinking about the forms and implications of contemporary media change, the present compilation also explores the long-term history of political communication.

Journalism is under ever-increasing pressure, due in large part to the phenomenon of media convergence. Not only does media convergence redefine the tasks of journalists and newsrooms, it also re-shapes the business environments of media companies. In this book, international media practitioners and researchers describe and analyze the relationships between media convergence and advertising, public relations, social media and other areas of communication posing a challenge to journalism.

Medialität und Menschenbild

Ideas about human nature are forms of anthropological knowledge; they are woven from ideas about human characteristics that vary historically and culturally: about the body, the psyche, the social context, and transcendence - in other words, about the "nature" or "essence" of humanity. Thisinterdisciplinary publication uses representative case studies to explore the particularities and evolution of ideas about human nature, as communicatedby the media, and to draw conclusions about the fundamental relationship between mediality and ideas concerning what it is to be human.

The Right to Privacy in the Light of Media Convergence –

Perspectives from Three Continents

Dieter Dörr, Russell L. Weaver

Volume 3 in this series

The rapid change of the culture of communication constantly poses new threats for the right to privacy. These do not only emanate from States, but also from private actors. The global network of digital information has turned the protection of privacy since a long time into an international challenge. In this arena, national legal systems and their underlying common values collide. This collection convenes contributions from European, Australian and US experts. They take on the challenge of providing an intercontinental analysis of the issue and answer the question how the right to privacy could be defended in future.
