Beschreibung

Die Forschungsreihe untersucht den Zusammenhang von Social-Media-Angeboten, Peer-Kommunikation und politischer Orientierung von Jugendlichen. Zielsetzung war und ist es, durch qualitative sowie quantitative Studien zu untersuchen, in welcher Art und Weise Webvideos von YouTubern und ihre kommunikative Thematisierung in der Peer-Group beeinflussen, wie sich Jugendliche über Politik informieren und wie sich ihre politischen Orientierungen entwickeln. Die Forschungsreihe bewegt sich dabei im Schnittfeld von Jugend- bzw. Peerforschung, Medienforschung, Mediensozialisationsforschung und Politischer Kommunikationsforschung.
