On April 24, our team took part in the Long Night of Research , an event dedicated to bringing research closer to the public and fostering direct exchange between scholars and society. 

Kateryna Maikovska, Aytalina Kulichkina, and Annie Waldherr presented the project Social Issue Emergence in the Hybrid Media System, which develops a dynamic, multi-level model to better understand how social issues arise and evolve across media environments. 

Annika Ahrens-Schwabe, Hajo Boomgaarden, Lukas Kosch, and colleagues showcased Listening to Literature: Experiencing Literary Audiobooks, a project that examines how people experience audiobooks and how listening compares to traditional reading.

At the Political Emotions in Climate Communication station, a poster by Veronika Ebner and Fabienne Lind was featured, and colleagues from the EU-Horizon Project CIDAPE discussed how hope, fear, and anger can mobilize or polarize.
