Communication in the digital space is increasingly determined by new gatekeepers. Algorithmic systems create personalised content that remains largely invisible to the general public, thereby shaping the digital media reality. On behalf of the Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia, we produced the monitoring report “fyi - The Research Monitor of the State Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia”. Across nine issues, the report analyses current developments in the field of digital information intermediaries, provides an overview of recent scientific publications, outlines the status and findings of ongoing research projects and situates them within a broader socio-political context.
