This is the final episode of the Mediadelcom podcasts. We base the project’s final discussion on the talks at the roundtable of the Mediadelcom conference in Brussels. You can catch up the entire conference from the Facebook pages of Mediadelcom and the Media Diversity Institute. Popped up during the concluding remarks, research on deliberative communication might keep going to gain longitudinal data. Also, another necessity emerging among various mediascape agents was the urgency of exploring the media use repertoires shaped by the social media. For researchers, educators and policy makers – to design studies, curricula and policies.

3 Feb 2024

One of the last tasks for Mediadelcom is to develop scenarios upon deliberative communication. The innovation lies in agent-based approach involving computer analysis. To large extent, it has been a pilot testing the compatibility of the chosen methodology for the particular aim. Moreover, the work of the project has exhibited that there are more gaps in the monitored knowledge than prognosticated and this has influenced the fluency of all later activities of Mediadelcom. The speakers are the project coordinator Halliki Harro-Loit (EE), Ioana Avădani (RO), Michał Głowacki (PL) and Marcus Kreutler (DE).
