Abstract
Media, particularly in combination with the Internet and advanced IT (information technology), can produce a major impact on politics. Elections, campaigning, governance, and policy-making in advanced democracies, but also in emerging democracies, do of course refer to media. It is also being said, and at least being discussed, that or if the media and new media were playing a triggering role for the events of the Arab Spring. New media and the New Social Media are also acting that invasive, because they can easily operate beyond and transcend national borders, and they allow the “cost-efficient” bypassing of more traditional media forms that are very cost intensive. This poses dangers for democracy. But this also poses opportunities for democracy and knowledge democracy, in the sense of offering a broader spectrum of available and accessible information. In addition, the analysis here also emphasizes and refers to this interesting interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral overlap of media, knowledge democracy, and innovation systems. Media, new media, and New Social Media impact politics, but they may also enhance innovation and innovation system. The theories and concepts of the Quadruple and Quintuple Helix innovation systems are explicit about the role of media for knowledge and innovation (“media-based and culture-based public”). Media allow and support the integration of knowledge creation, knowledge production, and knowledge application across diverse national, regional, and global innovation systems. In that sense, media may also be an element and a force for the advancement of AI (artificial intelligence) and AI systems. Already existing examples here are robot journalism, robot writers, and robot writing. The media are interlinking and building networks between political processes in media democracy and innovation processes in innovation systems. Between the sectors of the political system and of the innovation systems, new forms of cross-connectedness are emerging, facilitated also by the media.
