Christoph Neuberger - Democracy and Public | bpb.de

How does the general public fulfill its function of social self-understanding in times of hate speech and fake news? Who carries responsibility in the network for the realization of social expectations? Is Facebook a media company - and how should traditional media evolve? Christoph Neuberger analyzes the transformation of social communication conceptually and empirically for more than 20 years. In his lecture he recapitulates fundamental and current developments. He will show that we are actually in the middle of a fundamental change - and not everything is new.
