Communication, Culture and Participation

Overview

The ongoing media transformation shapes our future. More than ever, media permeate all areas of life. Despite the availability of so much information, forming your own opinion seems increasingly difficult. Moreover, traditional communication professions are losing their significance. At the same time, new professional fields are emerging and there are numerous new opportunities for creative self-expression and civil participation in current media environments.
