Mario Haim sowie Jakob Jünger und Chantal Gärtner haben fast zeitgleich Lehrbücher veröffentlicht, die „Computational“ im Titel tragen. Computational Communication Science (CCS) und ihre Forschungsmethoden sind im Kern der Kommunikationswissenschaft angekommen. Bereits Bachelor-Studierende sollen von den Grundlagen der CCS gehört haben und möglichst niedrigschwellige Angebote erhalten, um sich in den Methoden auszuprobieren. Den Autor:innen der beiden Lehrbücher gebührt uneingeschränkter Respekt dafür, sich der Herausforderung gestellt zu haben, ein neues Lehrbuch und damit auch ein Curriculum für CCS zu ..."
@marhai.bsky.social and @jajuenger.bsky.social & Chantal Gärtner have written books about Computational Communication Science #ccs #css. @mscharkow.bsky.social and I think they are good; go read them or give them to your German students. Also, please don't publish (exclusively) with springer.com.

In our new episode, we discuss the impact of digital media on well-being with @dougaparry.bsky.social. We look in particular at measuring media use and the new opportunities offered by digital data and CCS methods, but also the challenges involved. Listen here: t1p.de/ogbna

Fake news and the hybrid media system as well as malicious language online -- interesting phenomena we package under the umbrella term of (in quotation marks) "'contemporary' news". @jolukito.bsky.social guides us through these phenomena in our recent podcast episode! 📻🎧

Removal of Sam Altman - Wikipedia
The events around Sam Altman's removel from OpenAI are unfolding and escalating quicker than an AI could create a similar storybook. Luckly, Wikipedia keeps track: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal...

Schließung der Goethe-Institute besiegelt: Wie man Europa zersägt
Verheerend: Nach der Neuausrichtung der auswärtigen Kulturpolitik durch Annalena Baerbock beschließt Berlin endgültig das Aus für etliche Goethe-Institute.
Aller Protest der Zivilgesellschaft hat nicht geholfen. Die Schließung der Goethe-Institute in Italien, Frankreich - aber auch in Washington ist beschlossene Sache. Um 24 Millionen Euro einzusparen. Welch Borniertheit, welch bodenlose Dummheit.

Sam Altman fired as CEO of OpenAI
Mira Murati will be the interim CEO.
Friday afternoon shocker: Sam Altman is out as CEO of OpenAI for deceiving the company board.
Is there a scandal about the drop that they’re trying to get ahead of?

Our podcast @ccspod.bsky.social is also here, now. And we have a new episode, together with Christian Baden, in which we discuss how nasty some places of online debate could become, why this is important for our research, and how we can tackle that, both theoretically and methodologically.
