Walter, Lörcher et al. 2019 is a crystal clear: both the hypotheses and the method. Nonetheless they presuppose scientists as natural scientists. Out of curiosity, what happens applying the same research to other scientists? #digimediapublics2
Empathetic in Anne when she was aware that it is not just White issue but the media always kicked those sentences out. Wonder what suggestion would be drawn from Antonakis-Nashif (2015), as she already addressed the issue. #digimediapublics2
@tomnkls Exactly the point! Seemingly one has to draw a boundary, before that "as animals we also...", thereafter "but we are more than animals ...". The boundary is vague, and people have different boundaries. Analogy explains rather than proving things.
An elephant in the room when Tufekci analyzes Tahrir and Occupy: which side the most powerful state apparatus in the world is on, for or against.

Schrape 2021: my first meeting with jargon. What is media diffusion? Isn't any media responsible for some diffusion? What is media repertoire? #digimediapublics2
Unexpected, but not surprised to see the late Wittgenstein shedding light on media theory in Couldry 2013 -- how could it not be Wittgenstein? #digimediapublics2
But I can imagine a rebuttal that spectating is also an activity, so spectators are as active as elites, and spectatorship goes perfectly well with the dominant approach. Not fond of this argument, things may be messier than Abut's initial demarcation. #digimediapublics2
Usually concepts there move from realistically positive to ideologically normative. Interesting to see Adut 2012 tries to move *public sphere* backwards. His emphasis on visibility and audibility is common sense fitting and therefore convincing. #digimediapublics2
@motoko42 No, because in order to be a paradox negation is additionally needed: while "this sentence is false" is a paradox, "this sentence is true" is not ;D
Turner's distinction between bad and good disturbances (protest) is even more valuable nowadays. The balance between appeal and threat he pointed out is important and subtle. Btw, does he think of disorder and disturbance as synonyms?

But is it an infinite regress, when generalizing Turner&Killian's argument against media as purveyors of fact, saying there is no fully faithful mediator? Yes, and it serves as an argument for the non-existence of fact. What an old wine in the new Post-truth #digimediapublics2
