Great news - the first episode of #aBitOfCCS is online: t1p.de/lg6gs In this episode, hosted by @hase_va, Waqas Ejaz, PhD📊 talks about why and how he used topic modeling to analyze climate change reporting in Pakistan. We look forward to your feedback.

I had an absolute blast talking to @hase_va discussing my recent paper but more so was the issue of computational research in the Global South. I hope people would find it interesting. Thank you for having me CCS_pod

Are you on your way home from #ica23? Check out the new episode of #aBitOfCCS and listen to Jana Bernhard and Mario Haim (marhai.bsky.social) who discuss Jana's work with advanced topic modeling techniques: t1p.de/3sxdc ICA Comp Methods

In the latest episode we discuss morality with Frederic R. Hopp. What is it and how does it affect our daily lives and social reality? Of course, we also talk about how we can use CCS to measure morality and what the challenges are. Listen here: t1p.de/ywn2s ICA Comp Methods

Tune into the latest episode of CCS_pod where I discuss morality at the intersection of AI and brains with Mario Haim (marhai.bsky.social) and Emese Domahidi. Thanks again for a wonderful and engaging discussion!

Loved this episode of the CCS_pod. Its a fascinating discussion with Frederic R. Hopp on morality and the measurement thereof using computational communication methods. It's not a content area I know much about so this is a great 101 on using NLP/ML techniques to study morality

Just released a new episode of #aBitOfCCS with ankekat1000 and Emese Domahidi talking about dictionary-based text analysis and measuring incivility. Listen in here: t1p.de/hpr49 ICA Comp Methods International Communication Association

In the latest episode, we discuss with Ágnes Horvát the prevalence of gender stereotypes, how we can study them with CCS methods, and how they (and other inequalities) also affect our research, data, and methods. Listen here: t1p.de/zl9wk ICA Comp Methods

How can new technologies be regulated? We discuss this relevant, urgent and also exciting question with Natali Helberger and talk about EU initiatives such as the DSA, DMA and AI Act and their consequences, not only for CCS research. Listen in here: t1p.de/axw8a

In our latest episode, we engage in an insightful conversation with @c_baden, delving into the nature and prevalence of online disputes. We examine their implications for research methods and theories, and place a special focus on CCS. Listen in here: t1p.de/8394j

How to study "contemporary" news? Join our discussion with the wonderful Jo(sephine) Lukito on hybrid media systems, different forms of political language and their impact, and the role of CCS. Listen in here: t1p.de/getq0

In our latest episode, we discuss with Subhayan Mukerjee how powerful platforms are. The global perspective is particularly relevant here and calls not only for more diverse methods for CCS, but especially for appropriate theory building. Listen here: t1p.de/6xe2v

Hey look, we have a website now. Finally, that is! aboutccs.net But even more importantly, we are growing: The wonderful Jana Bernhard will host our #aBitofCCS series and is already preparing several upcoming episodes! 🥳🎧

We just released a new episode, together with the wonderful Katherine Ognyanova (@ognyanova.bsky.social), on networks (of friends and peers, but also of mis- and disinformation). Listen to it now, via your preferred 🎧player or through our new website aboutccs.net!

In our new episode, we discuss the impact of digital media on well-being with Doug Parry. We look in particular at measuring media use and the new opportunities offered by digital data and CCS methods, but also the challenges involved. Listen here: t1p.de/ogbna

What is AI, where does the hype come from and what role do CCS methods play? In our latest episode, we discuss these topics with the wonderful jeanburgess and look at the latest developments in the field. You can listen in here: t1p.de/4q53e

In the latest episode, we talk to Ethan Zuckerman about why social media seems to be broken, how we could fix it, including looking at different regions of the world, and whether a lawsuit against Facebook could make a difference. You can listen in here: t1p.de/f1h0v

Before we take a (longer? ;-)) summer break, we discuss the concept of credibility and its special role in misinformation and disinformation with the wonderful Dr. Cuihua (Cindy) Shen in the final episode of season 2. You can listen in here: t1p.de/79g3a
