The articles in issue 3–4/2026 of M&K address the architectural paradox of federated platforms and the diversity of information between algorithmic curation and self-selected networks (Simon Crins, in German), a comparative analysis of media use among Danish and German police officers (Jochen Kinast / Johannes Riis, in English), and an exploratory typology of German fact-checkers (Johanna Radechovsky, in German).
The issue also includes a call for papers for the special issue “Communicative AI as Methodological Toolbox and Research Companion.”
