Matthias C. Kettemann on Platformisation of News Journalism
Monday, 19 January, 2026
In this podcast episode, we are joined by Prof. Dr. Matthias C. Kettemann (University of Innsbruck) to discuss the concept of platformisation and its impact on journalism and democracy. We explore how the growing role of digital platforms in curating content is shifting power away from journalists and traditional media. Against this backdrop, we discuss the changing role of journalists as gatekeepers of information and examine whether they can still fulfil this function as Big Tech companies increasingly determine visibility and information flows. In the final part of the discussion, we turn to existing regulatory frameworks and assess their effectiveness in addressing the expanding influence of platforms over public communication.
