Diversity Searcher is a tool originally developed to help analyse diversity in news media texts. It relies on automated content analysis and thus rests on prior assumptions and depends on certain design choices related to diversity. One such design choice is the external knowledge source(s) used. In this article, we discuss implications that these sources can have on the results of content analysis. We compare two data sources that Diversity Searcher has worked with – DBpedia and Wikidata – with respect to their ontological coverage and diversity, and describe implications for the resulting analyses of text corpora. We describe a case study of the relative over- or underrepresentation of Belgian political parties between 1990 and 2020. In particular, we found a staggering overrepresentation of the political right in the English-language DBpedia., o-bib. Das offene Bibliotheksjournal / Herausgeber VDB, Bd. 10 Nr. 2 (2023)

This policy brief contains some highlights from the third year of the ySKILLS project.&nbsp

Diversity Searcher is a tool originally developed to help analyse diversity in news media texts. It relies on a form of automated content analysis and thus rests on prior assumptions and depends on certain design choices related to diversity and fairness. One such design choice is the external knowledge source(s) used. In this article, we discuss implications that these sources can have on the results of content analysis. We compare two data sources that Diversity Searcher has worked with - DBpedia and Wikidata - with respect to their ontological coverage and diversity, and describe implications for the resulting analyses of text corpora. We describe a case study of the relative over- or under-representation of Belgian political parties between 1990 and 2020 in the English-language DBpedia, the Dutch-language DBpedia, and Wikidata, and highlight the many decisions needed with regard to the design of this data analysis and the assumptions behind it, as well as implications from the results. In particular, we came across a staggering over-representation of the political right in the English-language DBpedia.

Investigaciones previas sobre las diferencias de género en el desarrollo digital de los jóvenes han demostrado que los chicos y las chicas difieren en la frecuencia y el tipo de uso de Internet, donde todavía existen lagunas vitales en materia literaria. En los últimos años, el género se considera cada vez más un concepto multidimensional, con un número creciente de jóvenes que se identifican como no binarios (es decir, «genderfluid», un término que engloba las identidades de género que no se ajustan a la dicotomía hombre/mujer). Los jóvenes no binarios se enfrentan con más frecuencia que los binarios a diversos riesgos digitales como la desinformación, el ciberacoso y la co-rumiación. A pesar de esto, hasta ahora ninguna investigación ha estudiado cómo el desarrollo digital difiere entre los jóvenes no binarios y binarios. En este estudio de encuesta en línea entre adolescentes de seis países europeos (N=6.221), nos centramos en las diferencias en las habilidades y actividades digitales. Los jóvenes no binarios tienden a hacer un mayor uso de Internet para la creación de contenidos y la información sobre salud mental y física que los chicos y las chicas. También declaran tener más habilidades de creación de contenidos que los chicos y las chicas. También se encuentran disparidades en cuanto al uso del entretenimiento y las relaciones sociales. Además, los resultados sobre las habilidades digitales indican que los jóvenes no binarios se asemejan mucho a los chicos en este aspecto. Concluimos con recomendaciones para futuras investigaciones que deberían ayudar a reforzar nuestra comprensión de cómo los contextos digitales pueden predecir el desarrollo y el bienestar de los jóvenes no binarios., Previous research on gender differences in young people’s digital development has shown that boys and girls differ in frequency and type of internet use, but vital gaps in the literature remain. In recent years, gender is increasingly considered to be a multidimensional concept with a growing number of young people identifying as non-binary (i.e. genderfluid, an umbrella term for gender identities that are not conforming to the male/female dichotomy). Non-binary youth more frequently engage with a variety of digital risks such as misinformation, cyberbullying, and co-rumination than binary youth. Despite this, no research so far has investigated how digital development differs between non-binary and binary youth. In this online survey study among adolescents in six European countries (N=6,221), we focus on differences in digital skills and digital activities. Non-binary youth tend to make greater use of the internet for content creation and mental and physical health information than boys and girls. They also report greater content creation skills than boys and girls. Disparities in terms of entertainment and social relationship use are also found. Furthermore, findings on digital skills indicate that non-binary youth closely mirror boys in this regard. We conclude with recommendations for future research that should help bolster our understanding of how digital contexts may predict the development and well-being of non-binary youth.

There is a quickly increasing body of studies and reports on harassment and intimidation of journalists around the world. These series of acts have a chilling effect on media freedom and journalists’ freedom of expression. The research literature on the topic has mostly focused on intimidation and harassment of journalists – particularly sexual harassment of women journalists – or journalists’ experiences of online harassment, and the impact on press censorship. In this chapter, we contribute to the debate by exploring the nexus between the harassment of journalists and the protection mechanisms adopted by leading news media organisations, professional journalism associations and other institutions, and national governments. We then discuss the effects on democracy in the 18 countries participating in the 2021 Media for Democracy Monitor (MDM). Our findings indicate how legal support and protection mechanisms might enhance journalists’ capacity to realise the news media’s democratic role in practice.
