ZeMKI Lab Datafication and Mediatization The Datafication and Mediatization Lab deals with how societies change when they are increasingly saturated by digital media and their infrastructures. The lab focuses on the role digital data play in these globalized processes of change. Current research is particularly concerned with the automation of communication, the role of pioneer communities and pioneer journalism in media-related transformation processes, as well as media and data practices in, for example, media use and appropriation, sports communication, mourning communication, community building, and science communication. In this regard, the Lab is also developing research software and a news platform for local journalism and information. Across these topics, a particular focus is paid to questions of the “good life” and the sustainable formation of our media environment. previous 123 next Uncategorized Presentation by ZeMKI Member Dr. Philip Sinner at the Annual Conference of the dvs Section Sports Sociology 2024: Sports Sociology as a Crisis Science On 26 April 2024, ZeMKI member Dr. Philip Sinner and the CoKoMeV team will give a lecture entitled “The communicative figuration of mediatized grassroot sports.
