E4: Hydrogen technology and economy in the media - an international comparative analysis of their journalistic construction with special attention to the MENA countries as well as the representation of medium-sized enterprises

This PhD project explores the question of how hydrogen technology and the hydrogen economy and their political framework are portrayed, commented on, and framed in the media. Traditional mass media (newspapers, magazines) as well as journalistically relevant parts of the digital public sphere (online forums, blogs, social networks) will be examined. From a theoretical point of view, narratives and journalistic framing will be examined, thus answering the question of which interpretive frames dominate discourses and how these come about.
