Mediating Change, Changing Media: Dimensions and Perspectives

Publication at Faculty of Social Sciences |
2022

Abstract

The introduction of the special issue on "Mediating Change and Changing Media" starts with a theoretical debate on the dimensions of change. In the second part, this article analyses the different contributions of this special issue, and how some articles contain representations of change, with a focus on news media and social media.

In addition, other contributions focus on how media settings may be altered, subjected to forces of change, that drive them to reconfigure their practices, rituals and modes of organization, or how they resist change or fail to change. A third group of contributions addresses the interwovenness of the changing media and mediating change perspectives.
