Research priorities

Journalism in Austria

2006–2008 the study Journalism in Austria - analogous to the study Journalism in Germany by Siegfried Weischenberg , Armin Scholl and Maja Malik - was carried out. It provided central data on the characteristics and attitudes of Austrian journalists. In 2013 a volume was published in the series that analyzed media management in Austria and its self-image. In 2017 the English-language "Journalism Report V: Innovation and Transition" was published on the occasion of the annual meeting of the Global Editor Network (GEN) in Vienna. By the end of 2019, a new overall survey on journalism in Austria was carried out as part of the "Journalism in Transition" project at the Institute for Comparative Media and Communication Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Alpen Adria University under the direction of Andy Kaltenbrunner and Matthias Karmasin . In 2020, "The Austrian Journalism Report" was published based on tens of thousands of socio-demographic data and 501 interviews with Austrian journalists - and noted, among other things, a 25% decline in journalistic jobs in Austria from 2006 onwards.

Media convergence

The research focus on media convergence focuses on changes in journalistic job descriptions and working methods compared to other European countries. Cooperation partners are Klaus Meier ( Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt ) and José Garcia Avilés Universidad Miguel Hernández Elche . Together with Kaltenbrunner, you founded the international network for journalism innovation research Innovamedia.Net. In 2017 the team from Medienhaus Wien examined the digital integration strategies of all Austrian daily newspapers .

Media self-regulation

Research and transfer projects on the subject of media self-regulation have been carried out since 2005, which provided international comparative data and analyzes on the re-establishment of a new media self-regulatory body in Austria (after the dissolution of the Austrian Press Council ) and provided the scientific basis for its re-establishment in 2010. Kaltenbrunner is working on the EU research project MediaAct, which deals with media self-control and media transparency.

Research and new media

The research techniques of journalists have changed dramatically as a result of the new media , especially Wikipedia. Kaltenbrunner questions the role of Wikipedia in research.
