Anne-Christin Hoffmann untersucht den Einfluss massenmedialer und interpersonaler Kommunikation auf die Relevanzbeurteilung von Themen. Sie legt den Blick darauf, unter welchen Rahmenbedingungen Rezipienten welche Ereignisse als wichtig für sich, ihr soziales Umfeld und die Gesellschaft einschätzen.

They range from Hugo Black, who helped to lift millions of American workers out of poverty, to Robert F.
