Eine Literatursynopse zur Nutzung der Kommentarfunktion auf Nachrichtensites im Internet

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Journalismus im Internet

Zusammenfassung

Nutzerkommentare machen Publikumsreaktionen auf und Anschlusskommunikation über journalistische Inhalte öffentlich und gelten als eine der am häufigsten genutzten Formen von Leserbeteiligung am Journalismus. Aufgrund ihrer Popularität, ihrer kontroversen Natur und den Herausforderungen, die mit der Implementierung einer Kommentarfunktion auf Nachrichtensites im Internet entstehen, werden Nutzerkommentare inzwischen von vielen Forscherinnen und Forschern untersucht. Der Beitrag liefert einen systematischen Überblick über Studien im Bereich der Journalismusforschung, der Nutzer- und Nutzungsforschung sowie der Medieninhalts- und Medienwirkungsforschung. Durch diesen integrativen Überblick soll der Gegenstand systematisch durchleuchtet und ein großer Teil des verfügbaren Literaturkorpus synthetisiert werden, um Diskussionen in Wissenschaft und Medienöffentlichkeit ein theoretisches und empirisches Fundament zu geben, Forschungslücken zu identifizieren und künftige Projekte in diesem Bereich anzustoßen.
