New Digital Tools for Media Monitoring
Description
The project is developing an automated digital tool based on Niklas Luhmann's systems theory.
Using machine learning, it analyses how journalism links political, legal, economic, scientific and other social perspectives in its reporting (multi-system relevance).
The tool recognises and visualises these connections and supports strategic communication and journalistic research.
