Study on women's representation in political news: media reactions
Female voices are still underrepresented in political news in Austria and journalism itself plays a crucial role for this asymmetry: Women's representation depends on journalists' own gender and on journalistic culture, while newsrooms' gender guidelines do not automatically ensure a fair gender diversity. These are the key learnings of a recent paper by CMC's Andreas Riedl, Tobias Rohrbach (University of Fribourg) and CMC's Christina Krakovsky. Austrian journalism has itself now addressed these…

A global view on media accountability
The concept of media accountability has originally been developed in the context of Western media systems.

Ready for the Future? Public Broadcasting in Austria
In a European comparison, public broadcasting in Austria is associated with high reach and trust ratings. CMC’s Maren Beaufort argues that in order to maintain this strong and democratically relevant position, it needs an improved legal framework and the entrepreneurial and journalistic courage to face up to changing social expectations and new forms of media usage behaviour. Strategically, this means – in addition to a modernized organizational structure that safeguards independence from…

Visions for the Neighbourhood
About one third of all Austrian journalists work in local newsrooms, and their topics are the most read editorial content. The democratic relevance of these almost 1,800 Austrian journalists and their reporting, however, has received little attention for a long time. Not least thanks to crises, local journalism is freeing itself from its hillbilly image and dresses traditional strengths into innovative garb.
