In the current issue (No. 25) of the magazine “Neue Narrative” (EN: New Narratives), Paul Fenski’s essay “Um die Demokratie zu retten, müssen Progressive vom Erfolg der AfD lernen” (EN: To Save Democracy, Progressives Must Learn from the Success of the AfD) has been published. Dr. Josephine B. Schmitt, Scientific Coordinator at CAIS, contributes reflections on the AfD’s success in social media. She explains how the party creates a political “home” through emotionalized problem framing and how provocative content is algorithmically amplified.
The full essay is available both in the print edition and online in the current issue of Neue Narrative (Issue 25) at the following link:
