“…Mediatization refers to a situation where media not only has become a central part of the public sphere, but even the main frame of reference in society. Media influences how politics is framed and perceived and set the terms of action for politicians, stakeholders, and other participants in public discourse (Asp and Esaiasson 1996;Mazzoleni and Schulz 1999;Schulz 2004;Strömbäck 2008). ''Mediatized politics is politics that has lost its autonomy, has become dependent in its central functions on mass media, and is continuously shaped by interactions with mass media.…”

“…In an analysis of the process of mediatization, Strömbäck (2008) concludes that even if mediation of politics is an old phenomenon, politics definitely has become more mediatized. Schulz (2004) operationalizes mediatization as a process of extension, substitution, amalgamation, and accommodation, where accommodation is the form most similar to the general use of mediatization. In this perspective, mediatization includes other spheres than politics and Schulz claims that the adaption to media logic applies not only to political actors but also to actors in entertainment, sports or other social domains.…”

Scientific complexity and uncertainty is a key challenge for environmental risk governance and to understand how risks are framed and communicated is of utmost importance. The Baltic Sea ecosystem is stressed and exposed to different risks like eutrophication, overfishing, and hazardous chemicals. Based on an analysis of the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, this study discusses media representations of these risks. The results show that the reporting on the Baltic Sea has been fairly stable since the beginning of the 1990s. Many articles acknowledge several risks, but eutrophication receives the most attention and is also considered the biggest threat. Authorities, experts, organizations, and politicians are the dominating actors, while citizens and industry representatives are more or less invisible. Eutrophication is not framed in terms of uncertainty concerning the risk and consequences, but rather in terms of main causes.

“…Drugim riječima, posredovano komuniciranje postalo je, dakle, najčešći i najuobičajeniji oblik komuniciranja u savremenom društvu (cf. Hjarvard, 2008;Konijn, Utz, Tanis, i Barnes, 2008;Livingstone, 2009;Schulz, 2004). I sam broj korisnika mobilnih telefona i interneta govori o prirodi današnje posredovanosti.…”

“…Novi mediji ulaze i ostaju u svim oblastima savremenog društvenog života, posebno u razvijenim društvima zapadnog svijeta, u takvoj mjeri da pojedini istraži-vači konceptualizaciju i istraživanja društvenog života i komuniciranja pomjeraju sa polja posmatranja medija kao posrednika u komuniciranju i posljedica posredništva, iako su one i dalje važne i primjetne, ka polju u kojima su mediji temeljna druš-tvena institucija kojoj se građani prilagođavaju u svakodnevnom društvenom živo-tu (Agha, 2011;Hjarvard, 2008;Hepp, 2011;Krotz, 2007;Lundby, 2009;Schulz, 2004). Imajući na umu prethodno analizirane osobine, današnji mediji, dakle, nisu samo posrednici u društvenom komuniciranju, ličnom ili javnom, nego određuju, nameću i regulišu društvene odnose i procese (Hjarvard, 2008).…”

Media society (MS) is understood as an emergent social formation that develops when the modern media system, by way of technological means, typical content, and a patterning communicative logic, enters ever deeper into the individual, institutional, and societal sphere of contemporary society. As media and information technologies merge to provide the technical infrastructure of the bulk of human communication, they become the backbone of both private and public social interaction. While media's emergence as a major force of modernization and social change is structurally related to technological innovation and institutional differentiation, their cultural significance lies with their new social, political, and cultural roles. Hence, media have come to be designated a “total social phenomenon” brought about by a rapid process of the mediatization of human relations on the micro‐, meso, and macro‐levels. First, as sophisticated means of (interpersonal) communication, they organize and shape the most fundamental of human traits – communication – as social interaction in work and leisure time, in public and in private, as people increasingly rely on technological devices. Second, in their joint role as social, cultural, and economic institutions that provide professional communication, they increasingly set the standards, and the pace, and suggest the format of human interaction. The modern media system has thus begun to exert increasing pressure on other social fields (Altheide & Snow 1979), as the way they select, shape, and distribute their messages becomes the prevalent source of information and mode of experience. Third, on the macro‐level, they have become a social subsystem (Luhmann 2000) in its own right, as the increasing division of labor and rapid specialization has transformed the media from intermediaries in the service of other social fields into major economic and cultural actors that impact on and irritate other social subsystems such as politics, the economy, science, and education.
