9th Hamburg Media Symposium

9th Hamburg Media Symposium

The 9th Hamburg Media Symposium, organised by the Hans-Bredow-Institut for Media Research, the Medienanstalt Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein (MA HSH) and the Chamber of Commerce, focused on the topic of media diversity on 7 June 2018.The video documentation will be available soon.

Diversity is the keyword of media order. With digitalisation and possible individualisation, however, offers, their distribution and their use have changed to such an extent that new questions of diversity arise. Are there new diversity risks, and how can they be addressed? For example, should the design of recommendation systems require users to be offered a variety of options? Is there a need for diversity of recommendation systems and could those who are especially focused on “public value” play a role? What is the idea of diversity based on and how could it be technically programmed?

Based on current research findings, these questions were discussed at the symposium . The focus was on the possibility to realise diversity in the design of technologies the future, i.e. “diversity by design”.
