MEDIA ETHICS

In modern, increasingly mediatized societies, which are fragmented into various fields of communication (business, politics, education, science, health, art, etc.), normative questions concerning media production, distribution and reception are increasingly arising, which cannot be discussed or even solved either exclusively in political and/or legal terms or solely at the national level. This gap is to be filled by the center, whose task is, among other things, to offer scientifically relevant but not yet institutionalized research. Potentials such as borderless networking, low-cost communication, and more participation, but also risks such as increased speed pressure, data protection, hate postings, etc. are only a few of the current topics IMEC is addressing.
