Subsuming Our Concept

Disclaimer: No claim to completeness is made for any of the statements and assumptions contained herein. This wiki, like the project as a whole, is a "work in progress". We warmly welcome constructive criticism and content-related information or additions in order to continuously improve our work and thus the COMPPRESS project. We are happy to receive your feedback via info@comppress.org or via Github.

For all the aspects of the problem we describe and "solution" we propose, none is deemed to be all-inclusive or sufficient. The relationships mentioned are neither monocausal nor solely valid. Opinions about political decisions are not just formed or influenced by media consumption: conversations and arguments with family, friends and acquaintances, personal background and experiences, for example, also play an important role. The COMPPRESS project is intended to illuminate a sub-area and to provide a solution for only one part, albeit an important one.

In critical media studies, many problems, inadequacies or challenging future trends can be identified that are not yet widely considered at this point in time, but can hopefully be included as part of a growing project with more resources.

Examples of open problems and challenges for the media in constitutional democracies are:

• Concentration of media companies / their ownership structure
• Hegemony of opinion
• Role of social networks
• Use and trade with big data (user data)
• Medialization (adaptation of politics to the functioning of the media)
