INNOVATIVE METHODS IN MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION R...

This collection reflects the need for suitable methods to answer emerging questions that result
from the ever-changing media environment. As media technologies and infrastructures become
inseparably interwoven with social constellations  scholars from varying disciplines
increasingly investigate their characteristics  functioning  relevance and impact - facing new
methodological challenges as well as opportunities. Innovative Methods in Media and
Communication Research engages with the substantial need to rethink established methods to
research acute changes in the media environment. The book gathers chapters dedicated to the
multifacetedness and liveliness of emerging methods - from lifelogging and ethnography to
digital methods and visualization - while embedding them in the rich history of
interdisciplinary empirical research. Innovation here is a call for widening and rethinking
research methods to stimulate a sophisticated debate on and exploration of contemporary
methodological approaches for scholars at various levels of academic life. Accompanied by
introductory sections of prominent scholars  the majority of empirical studies gathered in this
volume are accomplished through early-career scholars who strive to advance cutting-edge and in
parts even provocative approaches for the study of media and communication. The book's four
sections on Materiality  Technology  Experience and Visualization are introduced by Saskia
Sassen  Noortje Marres  Sarah Pink and Lev Manovich.
