Media Systems, Digital Media, and the Hybridity Cycle, with Prof. Daniel Hallin
Description
Professor Daniel C. Hallin, Distinguished Professor of Communication at UC San Diego, shares his thoughts on media systems and how digital media relates to the concept. We discuss the components of a 'system' and current debates around the concept of 'hybridity' in media studies. This leads to a broader discussion of conceptual stretching, media capture, and how single case studies can be made comparative through dialogue with existing scholarship.
The recording took place while Prof. Hallin was a Visiting Professor at the Department of Communication and Media at Lund.
Here are the two articles we discuss in the episode:
Comparative Research, System Change, and the Complexity of Media Systems (2020)
The Concept of Hybridity in Journalism Studies (2023)
