Nations and Nationalism

Renewable energy policies have been recognized as a cornerstone in the transition toward low-emission energy systems. Media reports are an important variable in the policy-making process, interrelating politicians and the public. To understand the changes in media framing of a pioneering renewable energy support act, we collected 6,645 articles from five Germany-wide newspapers between 2000 and 2017 on the German Renewable Energy Act. We developed a structural topic model based on a change-point analysis to assess the temporal patterns of newspaper coverage. We introduced the notion of topic sentiment to elucidate the emotional content of topics. The results show that after its enactment, optimism about renewable energies dominated the media agenda. After 2012, however, the Renewable Energy Act was more associated with its costs. Such shifts in renewable energy policy framing may limit political leverage to reach ambitious climate and energy targets.

The Influence of International Tourists’ Destination Image of Pakistan on Behavioral Intention: The Roles of Travel Experience and Media Exposure

The use of renewable energies has been rapidly expanding worldwide; however, in numerous countries this has resulted in public controversy. Building upon Entman’s framing concept, a quantitative content analysis was conducted to examine the media’s framing of renewable energies in 11 countries between 2010 and 2012. To explain the observed differences in media coverage, we considered national structural conditions. Furthermore, we investigated whether media framing changed after an external shock, the Fukushima accident. The findings show that renewable energies were covered through three different frames, (1) the first highlighting economic and technological problems, (2) the second focusing on environmental and social problems and (3) the third considering positive aspects of the technologies. To some extent, the occurrence of these frames is influenced by the national structural conditions. The study revealed that the Fukushima accident did not cause the expected changes in framing.

Explaining the Media's Framing of Renewable Energies: An International Comparison

This paper posits that the concept of European identity is an important indicator of the legitimacy of the European Union (EU). It further assumes that the exposure to EU related media content can influence the feeling of European identity. In order to verify this assumption, we combined the mere-exposure-theory and the hostile media phenomenon. We assume that these theoretical concepts could help to understand the influence of media on people’s levels of attachment to the EU. Regression analyses are performed on secondary data that were collected in a Eurobarometer survey in 2013. Our findings revealed that media exposure affected the respondents’ identification with Europe, as well as the modifications of this effect based on their assessments of EU media coverage. The results of the current study not only validate assumptions about the mere-exposure effects on identity but also confirm the theoretical assumption that perceived hostility reduces such effects, whereas exposure to information that is perceived as neutral promotes the effects of media exposure on the feeling of European identity.

Regionaler Protest und Massenmedien: Die Bedeutung von Massenmedien aus der Sicht von Bürgerinitiativen

Bereits in der Vergangenheit hat das Internet mit seinem Interaktivitatspotenzial und der dezentralen Kommunikationsarchitektur zu Spekulation uber die politischen Folgen dieser neuen Moglichkeiten angeregt. Insbesondere Visionen der Starkung direktdemokratischer Elemente wurden damit verbunden. Eine bedeutsame Wirkung konnte jedoch empirisch bisher nicht bestatigt werden. Aktuelle Neuerungen in der Entwicklung des Internets – haufig unter dem Begriff Web 2.0 bzw. Social Web zusammengefasst – geben nun jedoch Anlass zu der Frage, ob diese technischen Innovationen zum Katalysator fur die individuelle politische Kommunikation werden konnten. Um dies empirisch zu prufen, werden aktuelle Daten aus einem Forschungsprojekt zur politischen Online-Kommunikation ausgewertet.
