Special Issue - Captured Media. Researching Media Systems in and after Transitions
Vol. 17 No. 2(36) (2024)Guest Editors:
Bissera Zankova, Media 21 Foundation, Bulgaria

Aiming to expand our understanding of the strengths and limitations of the concept of media capture, this Special Issue of the Central European Journal of Communication offers a combination of theoretical articles and case studies authored by young and senior scholars that together discuss and make use of the concept as an analytical tool. While some authors call our attention to the need to problematize better the connection between media capture and related concepts such as media instrumentalization and party colonization, others apply it to shed light on how media companies, systems and newsrooms at large are trimmed in their capacity to scrutinize power structures due to their capture by political and economic power structures.

Special Issue: The Construction of the Future of Platforms
Vol. 17 No. 1(35) (2024)Guest Editor: Nico Carpentier, Charles University, Czech Republic and Tallinn University, Estonia
Executive Editor: Agnieszka Stępińska, Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznan, Poland
The special issue, originating from the Horizon 2020 EUMEPLAT project, reflects about the social construction of the future of platforms (and communication technologies). As there are numerous technological assemblages, fields in which they become activated and interact with, processes that take place within them, phenomena that are affiliated with them, and of future imaginings about all of these aspects, five thematic areas were selected-at the expense of many other options. For each of these thematic areas-algorithms and choice, surveillance and resistance, toxic debate and pluralistic values, destructive technologies and war, and gender in society-one research article has been produced and included in this special issue. The introduction of the special issue provides the paradigmatic, conceptual and methodological framework for all articles, while the special issue ends with the (edited) transcription of a roundtable debate, entitled “Future, Democracy and Platforms”.
