Professorship for Communication Science

Welcome to the Professorship of Communication Science with a focus on interpersonal communication in the context of digitalization!

We study communication processes at the intersection of interpersonal communication and mass communication. Our research focuses on three main areas: the relationship of journalism and its audience, online discourses, and the role of the Internet and Social Media for political opinion formation. 

Methodologically, we primarily use standardized surveys and experimental studies as well as iqualitative methods.
