The article "Practices of contradiction in networked public spheres: Theory design and research heuristics" was written by the five researchers in a collaboration across five universities. Among them is Prof. Margreth Lünenborg from the Department of Journalism Studies. In it, the academics outline a research approach that makes it possible to record, analyze and interpret practices of contradiction as well as to identify recurring patterns and structural conditions of contradiction.
