Digital Media in Politics and Society¶
Welcome to the lecture notes to Digital Media in Politics and Society. The lecture series is developed and written by Andreas Jungherr, Professor for the Governance of Complex and Innovative Technological Systems at the University of Bamberg, Germany. The lectures are designed for the Master Degree programme in political science at the University of Bamberg and its focus areas Computational Social Science and Governance of Innovative and Complex Technological Systems.
This course follows the flipped-classroom approach. In class, we will discuss the topic of the respective session and any open questions you might have. In order to profit from these sessions, it is mandatory that you read the notes to the respective session and listen to the lectures. Both will be made available approximately one week before the respective topic is discussed in class. In the final session of the course, there will be a brief exam testing you on what you have taken away from the class. In preparation for the exam, make sure to study the example questions made available to you on this site.
