More about the project
In this interdisciplinary project, media, language, music, literature, political scientists and historians of ideas collaborate on the logic and idiom of alternative media from different perspectives. The goal is to gain nuanced knowledge about an important emerging actor in the public sphere.
We focus primarily on politically/ideologically positioned alternative mediators of news and opinion. In an active exchange with the journalistic practice that is highly influenced by the development, the following questions are examined:
- How can we better understand the media logic of alternative actors that challenge established journalism?
- What are the expressions of alternativity (e.g. in sound and image design, performance of gender, emotions, professionalism/authenticity, information/commentary)?
- How does alternative news format affect public discourse and its conditions within a democratic society?
