JMG’s research is

characterized by its concentration on social science and its empirical 
approach. The research on journalism, media and communication at JMG is 
conducted partly from a

democracy perspective, in which questions concerning power, publicity 
and the formation of opinion play a central role, and partly from an 
audience perspective, with questions

concerning structure, use and impact in focus.
