through language in personal blogs, she illustrates the effectiveness of the inclusion of both a systematic coding scheme for labeling the screen-based data (i.e., blog posts and comments) and a further questionnaire design for examining the behind-the-scenes user-based intentions of communicators, forming an integrated objectivity-cumsubjectivity-integrated perspective. Finally, Riki Thompson (Chapter 14) continues to focus on the ethnographic-based approach to digital discourse analysis and focuses on how researcher reflexivity works in different stages of the research process. In her project of a multimodal analysis of online dating texts, she includes participants’ reflective interview procedures throughout the duration of her study to better elucidate the cognitive mechanism of why people create the digital texts that they do. To sum up, this volume is an ideal reference book to advance our understanding of research methods in digital discourse studies. The vastness and diversity in the transdisciplinary domain of digital communication have cultivated creativity and flexibility when exploring its discursive interactions. Throughout the book, the most significant contribution is its reminding significance in clarifying the common methodological challenges and mistakes that can happen in the research process of digital discourse analysis and offering helpful suggestions and recommendations on how to avoid them. Although the absence of certain research topics (e.g., emoji, retweeting, self-presentation, etc.) may disappoint some critical readers, its valuable insights in providing methodological guidance for future digital discourse studies still make it a highly thought-provoking publication for anyone interested in this field.

通过个人博客中的语言，她说明了包含一个系统的编码方案来标记基于屏幕的数据（即博客帖子和评论）和一个进一步的问卷设计来检查沟通者基于用户的幕后意图的有效性，形成了一个综合的客观性和主观性的综合视角。最后，Riki Thompson（第14章）继续关注基于民族志的数字话语分析方法，并关注研究者自反性在研究过程的不同阶段是如何发挥作用的。在她的在线约会文本多模式分析项目中，她在整个研究过程中纳入了参与者的反思性访谈程序，以更好地阐明人们为什么创建他们所做的数字文本的认知机制。总之，这本书是一本理想的参考书，可以促进我们对数字话语研究方法的理解。数字通信跨学科领域的广阔性和多样性培养了在探索其话语互动时的创造力和灵活性。在整本书中，最重要的贡献是它在澄清数字话语分析研究过程中可能发生的常见方法论挑战和错误，并就如何避免这些挑战和错误提供有用的建议和建议方面的提醒意义。尽管缺乏某些研究主题（如表情符号、转发、自我展示等）可能会让一些批判性读者失望，但它在为未来的数字话语研究提供方法指导方面的宝贵见解仍然使它成为对该领域感兴趣的任何人都非常发人深省的出版物。

The increasing relevance of platformization sheds light on the role of algorithms in filtering political content, profiling audiences and defining the rules for the competition between traditional outlets and new content creators online. More importantly, algorithms learn and adapt results based on users’ activities online. But, if algorithms learn over time, how to deal with this time-varying dynamic when analysing them? The present paper brings a method for analysing YouTube search ranking and related video algorithm results over time, applied to a corpus of 1346 videos related to the war in Ukraine connected through 7934 related video links, starting on 21st November and stopping on 5th December. Results show that YouTube search and related video algorithms differ considerably in their behaviours, considering the channels and video clusters they benefited over time. It could be a dangerous bias to focus solely on one of the algorithms or presume its functioning based on collections made after – and not during – the political events they influenced. More than a matter of choosing methods, to understand how algorithms are changing the network structure of the current public sphere, it is important to develop new ones.

平台化的相关性日益增强，揭示了算法在过滤政治内容、分析受众以及定义传统媒体与在线新内容创作者之间竞争规则方面的作用。更重要的是，算法根据用户的在线活动来学习和调整结果。但是，如果算法随着时间的推移而学习，那么在分析它们时如何处理这种时变动态呢?本论文提出了一种分析YouTube搜索排名和相关视频算法结果的方法，应用于1346个与乌克兰战争相关的视频语料库，通过7934个相关视频链接连接，从11月21日开始到12月5日停止。研究结果表明，考虑到频道和视频集群随着时间的推移而受益，YouTube搜索和相关视频算法的行为差异很大。只关注其中一种算法，或者根据它们影响的政治事件之后(而不是期间)收集的数据来假设其功能，可能是一种危险的偏见。要了解算法如何改变当前公共领域的网络结构，这不仅仅是选择方法的问题，开发新的方法也很重要。

In recent years, political polarization saw a significant rise in many political systems. This revamped a scientific debate sparked decades ago, with different schools of thought debating on dynamics, factors, and causes of polarization itself. By looking at political elites' polarizing strategy-one of the factors on which various theories seem to converge-this article tackles the question concerning the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of political communication. More specifically, we look at the case of a highly polarizing leader in Italy-Matteo Salvini, leader of Lega-in two campaigns held in 2020 before and after the first wave of the pandemic. By analyzing his messages on Facebook and Twitter, we build on the literature on the causes of affective polarization to study Salvini's use of partisan identity and divisive issues, also considering other crucial elements, such as the attacks against others, and followers' engagement. The results highlight some changes between the two phases, but also a strong continuity in the polarizing strategy of Salvini's political communication.

近年来，政治两极分化在许多政治制度中显著加剧。这改变了几十年前引发的一场科学辩论，不同的学派就两极分化本身的动力、因素和原因展开了辩论。通过观察政治精英的两极分化战略——各种理论似乎一致的因素之一——本文解决了新冠肺炎疫情对政治沟通的影响问题。更具体地说，我们看看意大利一位高度两极分化的领导人——Lega领导人Matteo Salvini——在2020年第一波疫情前后举行的两次竞选活动中的情况。通过分析萨尔维尼在脸书和推特上的信息，我们以情感两极分化原因的文献为基础，研究萨尔维尼对党派身份和分裂问题的使用，同时考虑到其他关键因素，如对他人的攻击和追随者的参与。研究结果突出了两个阶段之间的一些变化，但也突出了萨尔维尼政治传播两极分化战略的强烈连续性。

The German media as amplifier of the political agenda: The economic policy framing of European conflicts in times of COVID-19. 德国媒体作为政治议程的放大器：新冠肺炎时期欧洲冲突的经济政策框架

Victoria Sophie Teschendorf

Especially in times of (corona) crisis, the German press plays a crucial role in communicating Germany's economic policy orientation, influencing how the crisis is communicated to the public. The issue of joint European debt has never been more visible than in these times, as has the threat of a new euro crisis-Italy in focus. This study explores the German media framing of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using Italy as an example. Applying quantitative content analysis, the relative prevalence of frames rooted in competing economic policy paradigms (neoliberal/Keynesian) in press coverage from February to July 2020 is examined. The Keynesian paradigm dominates coverage. Using logit analysis, issue-specific neoliberal frames are identified as solution oriented, while Keynesian frames focus on evaluations. With Germany's policy shift regarding European joint debt and toward European greater fiscal integration, a paradigm shift is observable. Overall, findings demonstrate a relatively paradigmatic pluralistic reporting.

尤其是在（电晕）危机时期，德国媒体在传达德国经济政策方向方面发挥着至关重要的作用，影响着如何向公众传达危机。欧洲共同债务的问题从未像现在这样明显，新的欧元危机的威胁也是如此——意大利成为焦点。本研究以意大利为例，探讨了德国媒体对2019冠状病毒病（新冠肺炎）的框架。应用定量内容分析，研究了2020年2月至7月新闻报道中植根于竞争性经济政策范式（新自由主义/凯恩斯主义）的框架的相对普遍性。凯恩斯主义范式主导了覆盖率。使用logit分析，特定问题的新自由主义框架被确定为以解决方案为导向，而凯恩斯主义框架侧重于评估。随着德国在欧洲共同债务和欧洲更大的财政一体化方面的政策转变，可以观察到范式的转变。总的来说，研究结果显示了一种相对典型的多元化报道。

The article discusses the negotiations surrounding the treatment of journalistic content in relation to content regulation in the context of the European Union's Digital Services Act. News media organisations lobbied for a privileged treatment of editorial content from platforms’ content moderation systems during the Digital Services Act's negotiations in the European Parliament, which came to be known as ‘non-interference principle’. Although the principle did not make it to the final version of the Digital Services Act, a provision related to the respect of media pluralism and media freedom by platforms was added. This article draws data from in-depth interviews with stakeholders, as well as from an analysis of legal and communication documents. It aspires to shed light on the political-economic tensions that shaped the final version of Digital Services Act and how the European Union attempted to integrate the asymmetric relationship between news media and platforms in its regulatory agenda.

本文讨论了在欧盟《数字服务法》的背景下，围绕与内容监管相关的新闻内容处理的谈判。在欧洲议会就《数字服务法案》(Digital Services Act)进行谈判期间，新闻媒体组织游说，要求对来自平台内容审核系统的编辑内容给予特权待遇，这后来被称为“不干涉原则”。虽然这一原则没有纳入《数字服务法》的最终版本，但增加了一项与尊重媒体多元化和平台媒体自由有关的条款。本文的数据来源于对利益相关者的深度访谈，以及对法律和沟通文件的分析。它希望揭示影响《数字服务法案》最终版本的政治-经济紧张关系，以及欧盟如何试图将新闻媒体和平台之间的不对称关系纳入其监管议程。

income. The key questions the book attempts to answer are: ‘how and under what conditions basic human information-seeking activities have been commodified and subordinated to capital in the first place, how search was transformed into a global industry that has accelerated the commodification and commercialization of the Internet and the accumulation of capital, and how it has turned into a new geopolitical focal point of the Internet’ (p. 3). The book is split into Introduction, five substantive chapters and Conclusion. Chapter 1, ‘Searching for Profits’, offers a history of search engine development and ‘shows that search engine technology itself did not inherently have economic value’ (p. 16). Chapter 2, ‘Situating Search’, discusses search’s place within the broader political economy of the Internet. Chapter 3, ‘Laboring behind search’, explores the division of labour behind the search engine. Chapter 4, ‘Digital Welfare Capitalism’, ‘extends the analysis of the labor process to an examination of the methods of labor management and control employed by Google, which sets the trends for the wider industry’ (p. 18). The author reminds us that Google has a reputation for motivating its workforce through giving its highly paid workers ‘unprecedented freedom and ... a voice in the company’ (p. 18). Yeo draws historical parallels to an earlier industrial era. The final substantive chapter, ‘Market Dynamics and Geopolitics’, investigates the transnational nature of Internet industries and the role of geopolitics and transnational capitalism. All in all, this is a fascinating book well worth a read.

收入这本书试图回答的关键问题是：“人类的基本信息寻求活动最初是如何以及在什么条件下被商品化并服从于资本的，搜索是如何转变为一个加速互联网商品化和商业化以及资本积累的全球产业的，以及它是如何成为互联网新的地缘政治焦点的”（第3页）。本书分为引言、五个实质性章节和结语。第1章“寻找利润”介绍了搜索引擎的发展历史，并“表明搜索引擎技术本身并不具有内在的经济价值”（第16页）。第二章，“情境搜索”，讨论了搜索在更广泛的互联网政治经济中的地位。第三章“搜索背后的劳动”探讨了搜索引擎背后的劳动分工。第4章，“数字福利资本主义”，“将对劳动过程的分析扩展到对谷歌使用的劳动管理和控制方法的研究，这为更广泛的行业设定了趋势”（第18页）。作者提醒我们，谷歌以给予高薪员工前所未有的自由和。。。公司的声音”（第18页）。杨将历史与早期工业时代相提并论。最后一个实质性章节，“市场动力学和地缘政治”，调查了互联网行业的跨国性质以及地缘政治和跨国资本主义的作用。总而言之，这是一本非常值得一读的引人入胜的书。

The article explores Bitchute, a video-hosting platform associated with the Far/Alt Right, with the aim of understanding how it reconfigures political communication and the digital public sphere. Methodologically, the article employs the walkthrough method and non-participant observation to identify the main features and functionalities offered to users. These include a set of values that prioritise creators, an algorithmic organisation that keeps users engaged with a single creator channel rather than with the same topic across channels; and embedded buttons for tips and pledges for creators enabling them to directly monetise their content. The content posted on Bitchute tends to coalesce around politicised cultural issues. It is noteworthy that although Bitchute hosts some advertising, it does not use data for microtargeting and in general makes limited use of user data. We interpret these findings as suggesting that Bitchute constitutes a media infrastructure that encourages, incentivises and sustains microcelebrities of the Far/Alt Right, who act as ideology entrepreneurs. Bitchute can therefore be seen as an infrastructure for the multiplication/sustenance of ideological entrepreneurs/political influencers who vie for the attention and money of far-right publics. If we can speak of a structural transformation of the public sphere associated with Alt Tech, our discussion of Bitchute suggests that this takes the form of a political media infrastructure that enables the continued existence and consolidation of a new type of political actor, the ideology entrepreneur.

本文探讨了与极右/另类右翼有关的视频托管平台Bitchute，旨在了解它如何重新配置政治传播和数字公共领域。在方法上，本文采用了演练方法和非参与式观察来确定提供给用户的主要特性和功能。其中包括一套优先考虑创作者的价值观，一个让用户与单一创作者渠道保持互动的算法组织，而不是跨渠道关注同一个主题;并为创作者嵌入提示和承诺按钮，使他们能够直接将其内容货币化。Bitchute上发布的内容往往围绕政治文化问题进行整合。值得注意的是，虽然Bitchute托管了一些广告，但它并没有使用数据进行微定位，而且通常对用户数据的使用也很有限。我们将这些发现解释为，Bitchute构成了一种媒体基础设施，鼓励、激励和维持那些充当意识形态企业家的极右翼/另类右翼微名人。因此，Bitchute可以被视为意识形态企业家/政治影响者增殖/维持的基础设施，他们争夺极右翼公众的关注和金钱。如果我们可以谈论与Alt Tech相关的公共领域的结构转型，那么我们对Bitchute的讨论表明，这采取了一种政治媒体基础设施的形式，这种基础设施使一种新型的政治行动者——意识形态企业家——能够继续存在和巩固。
