This article introduces the user-centered approach of co-creation for the self-reflexive development of research software in media and communication studies. In essence, three advantages of co-creation will be made apparent: First, co-creation enables research software to be developed densely with reference to existing research practices. Second, co-creation helps to develop research software close to the practices of people in everyday life and to take them seriously as research subjects. And third, co-creation supports the development of a community of researchers around the respective research software, thus securing its sustainability. To illustrate this the process of co-creation is discussed as a certain way of dealing with infrastructures, which reveals their internal mechanics, allowing researchers to adequately reflect on them. This then affords a discussion of the iterative process of co-creation in more detail, making people’s practices, the practices of researchers and the methods of implementation with their respective specific methods apparent, which are close to a qualitative research design in media and communication studies. The article concludes with a reflection on the potential of co-creation far beyond the development of research software.
The discrepancy between children’s actual amount of viewing time and parents’ accounts of their concerns, rules, and parental mediation choices has been documented in empirical research, and typically interpreted through the lens of the Uses and Gratifications theory – showing how parents change their attitudes towards screen media in order to satisfy their own needs. Based on a qualitative longitudinal research project, including app-based media diaries, with 20 families with at least one child aged eight or younger, we aim to make two contributions to the literature. With regard to theory, we aim to highlight the heterogeneous and contingent ways of balancing the place of digital media in children’s lives that arise from parents navigating screen time discourses, social pressures, and daily schedules. With regard to methods, we argue for the combination of qualitative data and app-based media diaries to contextualise and interpret potential discrepancies between reported screen time and parental anxieties or hopes about digital media.
