title = {Risiken und Nebenwirkungen des Internets für die politische Kommunikation},
year = {2011},
note = {This short essay observes some general trends concerning the
internet’s impact on political communication – based around
notions of what we might expect from the citizens, media and political
actors in a democratic society. It focuses on three central questions:
1) What kind of significance did the internet gain over recent years?
2) What kind of changes will current trends in communication carry for
political cognition? 3) What sort of modification will the culture of
communication experience? The essay argues in favor for a hard-nosed
view on recent developments that concentrates on the functions of
journalism and intermediate institutions, rather than normative
expectations regarding a „new public sphere“.},
