Research

Judith Möller's research focusses on the effects of political communication, especially in social media. The focus is on two questions: (1) the effects of personalised political communication on both, individuals and society as a whole and (2) the role of (new) media in the process of opinion formation, particularly as part of political socialisation processes.

Transfer

The transfer of her research and co-operation with institutions and individuals working in the media is of great importance to Judith Möller. She regularly takes part in public debates or science festivals and is in constant dialogue with newspaper publishers, public broadcasters and media supervisory authorities. On behalf of the media authorities, she contributed to an expert report on types of disinformation and misinformation, which analysed various forms of disinformation and their dissemination from a communication science and legal perspective. In addition, she is regularly invited as an expert to meetings of media regulatory authorities and consumer and market authorities, such as the European Regulators Group for Audiovisual Media Services (ERGA), the European Platform of Regulatory Authorities (EPRA), the Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg (mabb), the Landesanstalt für Medien NRW, the Eidgenössische Medienkommission (EMEK) or Election Observation and Democracy Support (EODS).
