Digital Dish | Bernhard Rieder

The lecture will discuss how we can empirically investigate RUclips's platformed media system, looking both at how to map the landscape of channels and how to understand the algorithmic systems that play a central role in orienting viewers' attention. Using a variety of concepts, methods and tools, we are able to begin making sense of a large platform like RUclips, even if many blind spots and open questions remain. Building on a number of specific research projects, Rieder will discuss these possibilities and limitations in detail, arguing that researchers, journalists, activists and regulators need better access to create "counter powers" to the dominant platform companies.
The presentation will be followed by a discussion with Robert Bobnič.
