Media Disturbances. The Structures and Functions of Special News Broadcasts in German Political Media Culture.

干扰被视为功能逻辑的中断。它们意味着对社会定义的常态的限制，对现代社会来说是富有成效的，因为它们留在记忆中并引起变化。动乱使人们对什么是公认的正常状态有了共同的理解，并主张有必要恢复正常状态。骚乱的制造和传播是通过大众媒体进行的。在这一进程中，特别新闻广播发挥了中心作用。这些节目主要由公共电台提供，涉及原因、对骚乱负责的人、受害者和受影响的人、问题的程度以及如何解决问题的前景。此外，这些节目还引发了关于决议后果和后续正常化前景的讨论。该项目的重点将是报道骚乱和特别广播处理骚乱的机制。它将研究如何讨论，定义，阶段和（仪式）处理的干扰，决议，决议的后果，以及重建一个象征性的秩序。这是在五个研究问题的背景下完成的：1。新闻专题广播的功能逻辑是什么？选择过程的标准是什么？如何进行编程和编辑决策？生产过程是如何运作的？2.什么是有助于媒体建设和解决干扰的美学元素（框架，程序流程，戏剧，演播室设置，视觉语言等）？3.广播中使用的符号资源是什么？4.特别广播如何发挥其潜力，以解决骚乱，正常化局势和重建象征秩序？5.社交媒体应用程序的作用是什么，特别是在节目中与观众的互动方面？分析的实证部分将利用民族志嵌入视频分析的概念。首先，我们将分析视听数据（约120个特别新闻广播的录音）。第二，我们将采访在镜头前和镜头后工作的媒体工作人员。最后，文献分析将与观察方法一起完成实证策略。本研究将详细探讨特殊新闻广播中加工干扰的五个维度：强度、话题性、时间性、表演性和中介性。其目的是发展一种类型学，了解媒体如何构建和报道骚乱、骚乱的解决和秩序的重建。研究结果有望为当代社会中政治媒体文化的运作提供新的见解。

Disturbances are seen as a disruption of a functional logic. They signify restrictions of a socially defined normality and are productive for modern societies, because they remain in the memory and induce changes. Disturbances create a common understanding of what is recognized as normal, and they assert a need to restore normality. The construction and communication of disturbances occurs through mass media. Within this process, special news broadcasts play a central role. These programs, mostly provided by public stations, deal with causes, with persons responsible for the disturbances, with victims and affected persons, with the extent of the problem and with perspectives on how to solve the problems. In addition, these programs also lead a discussion about the consequences of a resolution and the perspectives of a following normalization. The project will focus on the coverage of disturbances and mechanisms of dealing with them by and within the special broadcasts. It will examine how disturbances, resolutions, consequences of resolutions, and the re-establishment of a symbolic order are discussed, defined, staged and (ritually) processed. This is done in the context of five research questions: 1. What is the functional logic of special news broadcasts? What are the criteria for the process of selection? How are programming and editorial decisions made? How does the production process work? 2. What are the aesthetical elements that contribute to the medial construction and resolution of disturbances (framing, program flow, dramaturgy, studio setting, visual language etc.)? 3. What are the symbolic resources used in the broadcasts? 4. How do the special broadcasts develop their potentials to resolve disturbances, normalize the situation and re-establish the symbolical order? 5. What is the role of social media applications, in particular in the interaction with the audience in the programs? The empirical part of the analysis will make use of the concept of ethnographically embedded video analysis. First, we will analyze audiovisual data (recordings of about 120 special news broadcasts). Second, we will interview media staff persons acting in front of and behind the cameras. Finally, document analyses will complete the empirical strategy together with observational methods. Five dimensions of processing disturbances through special news broadcasts will be examined in detail: intensity, topicity, temporality, performativity and mediality. The aim is to develop a typology of how the media construct and cover disturbances, their resolution, and the re-establishment of order. The results of the research promise new insights into the functioning of political media culture in a contemporary society.
