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

干扰被看作是功能逻辑的中断。它们象征着对社会定义的常态的限制，对现代社会是有益的，因为它们留在记忆中并引发变化。动乱使人们对什么是正常产生了共同的理解，它们表明了恢复正常的必要性。骚乱的建构和传播是通过大众媒体进行的。在这一过程中，专题新闻广播发挥着核心作用。这些节目主要是由公共电台提供的，内容涉及起因、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观点。此外，这些计划还会引发关于决议的后果和后续正常化前景的讨论。该项目将侧重于特别广播对干扰的报道和处理这些干扰的机制。它将研究如何干扰，决议，决议的后果，并重新建立一个象征性的秩序进行讨论，定义，上演和（仪式）处理。这是在五个研究问题的背景下完成的：1。新闻专题节目的功能逻辑是什么？遴选过程的标准是什么？节目和编辑决策是如何制定的？生产过程是如何进行的？2. 哪些美学元素有助于中间结构和干扰的解决（框架、程序流程、戏剧、工作室设置、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化解干扰、使局势正常化和重建象征秩序的潜力？5. 社交媒体应用的作用是什么，特别是在节目中与观众的互动中？分析的实证部分将利用民族志嵌入式视频分析的概念。首先，我们将分析视听数据（大约120个特别新闻广播的录音）。第二，我们将采访台前和台后的媒体工作人员。最后，文献分析将与观察方法一起完成实证策略。通过特别新闻广播处理干扰的五个维度将被详细检查：强度，话题性，时间性，表演性和媒介性。目的是发展一种类型的媒体如何构建和覆盖干扰，他们的解决，并重建秩序。研究结果为政治媒体文化在当代社会的功能提供了新的见解。

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.
