Methodological information The data gathering was guided by the MEDIADELCOM project’s Specific Objective 2: Mapping and critical analysis of the risks and opportunities (ROs) related research and data (2000 - 2020), enabling the assessment of the quality of the research on media related ROs, as well as the potential of national expertise in different EU countries. (WPs 2 and 3). The main goal of the data gathering was to make it possible to describe and assess news media monitoring capability in each participating country. The theoretical-methodological framework of four domains where potential ROs appear (journalism, media related competences, media usage patterns and legal and ethical regulation) guided the selection of the publications. The matrices of relevant variables for each domain were worked out, which directed the selection process. Involving experts from 14 different countries, not only internationally available data and research, but also the studies in national languages are included. Available international and national academic databases, national and university library holdings, academic journals and media industry and professional organizations’ produced data were consulted. The institutional mapping was further extended by identifying journalism and media scholars who have conducted studies in at least one of Mediadelcom’s domains. As a result, the database contains published academic articles, academic books and book chapters, various (research) reports, and relevant doctoral dissertations (with available links). Non-academic publications were included only in cases when there was no any academic publication available about particular ROs related topic. Depending on the very different sizes and conditions of the countries and their communities of media scholars, the selection processes slightly differed. Some countries applied “everything relevant we can find” method (e.g., Estonia, Latvia, Czechia, Hungary, Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia). The countries with a very large number of research institutions and researchers applied stricter selection criteria focusing on high quality (peer reviewed) and high impact (WoS/SCOPUS -referenced) sources, impactful edited books, and selecting most prominent authors (Italy, Poland, Germany). For example, Austrian database does not include their German-language publications with main focus on Germany and Switzerland; German database does not cover all 16 federal states equally, but selection is made according to the relevance of pre-defined domains in the research of particular federal states. As the data has been gathered specifically about the research done in four mentioned domains concerning potential ROs emanating from the news media development for deliberative communication, this database does NOT cover ALL the academic publications in the fields of media and journalism research. Consequently, the above-mentioned conditions limit the generalizations and comparisons based on the current database. 3.
