ANMI - An Open Digital Research Infrastructure for Media and Communication Studies

According to the European Commission, research infrastructures are indispensable for "our digital future". Alongside the function of collecting and archiving scientific data, the purpose of these infrastructures is to be available to users regardless of their location, to reduce the fragmentation of research and thus to support coordination and cooperation among researchers.

Media and communication science as well as media practice and civil society currently face a lack of availability of long-term data on media structures and media use (Strippel, 2021), which are relevant for monitoring and analyzing political communication processes and changes in the public sphere. The Austrian News Media Infrastructure (ANMI) aims to close this gap by providing a low-threshold, curated and interactive access to current and historical data on Austria news media, covering the time period from 1848 to the present.
