Values and norms as research objects and guiding principles in communication research. An integrative research approach

跨学科网络追求的目标是将价值观和规范作为传播研究的研究对象和指导原则进行记录、综合和系统化。将对1990年至2013年在媒体政策、新闻学、媒体内容和受众研究等核心研究领域中涉及规范和价值观的国内和国际出版物进行系统回顾。因此，该网络确定了不同的理论概念和指导原则，并通过分析使用的方法和工具，为方法标准化做出了重大贡献。这一途径不仅使我们从整体上对传播学研究的规范和价值观展开了批判性的自我反思，而且揭示了23年来的变化。在此背景下，提出了未来研究的开放性问题。该网络连接了13名女性年轻学者，她们是上述四个研究领域之一的专家，并拥有自己的方法专长。三位资深学者支持该网络。网络研究结果将发表在某杂志的特刊上。通过这种方式，将弥补研究文献的空白，并为未来的跨学科研究项目奠定良好的基础。

The interdisciplinary network pursues the goal to document, to synthesize, and to systematize values and norms as research objects and guiding principles in communication research. A systematic review of national and international publications dealing with norms and values from 1990 to 2013 in the central research fields media policy, journalism, media content and audience research will be conducted. Thereby, the network identifies different theoretical concepts and guiding principles and provides a significant contribution to the methodological standardization by analyzing the used methods and instruments. This approach not only allows us to open up a critical self-reflection of norms and values in communication research in its entirety, but also to reveal changes over a period of 23 years. Against this background, open research questions for future studies are deduced. The network connects 13 female young scholars, which are experts in one of the four aforementioned research fields and own methodological expertise. Three senior scholars support the network. The network results will be published in a special issue of a journal. In this manner, a gap in research literature will be closed and a sound basis for prospective interdisciplinary research projects will be build.
