1. Retrieving Floods without Floodlights: Topic Models as Binary Classifiers for Extreme Climate Events in German News (2026 · 1 citation)
   Media studies of extreme climate events often build corpora by searching news archives with hazard keywords.
2. Geolocating News about Extreme Climate Events: A Comparative Analysis of Off-the-Shelf Tools for Toponym Identification in German (2026)
   Finding the location of a reported climate disaster is a routine need in climate impact research. Pipelines usually begin by extracting place names with an off-the-shelf NER tool whose output goes unchecked. The authors measure how much that unexamined choice matters for German news.
3. How Loud Rumbles Hit Newsstands: A Data Analysis of Coverage and Spatial Bias in German News about Landslides Around the World (2026)
   The paper asks how German newspapers cover landslides outside Germany, and whether that coverage matches how often such disasters happen.
4. Listening for Ideology: Automatic Analysis of Character Speech in Historical Nazi Propaganda Films (2026)
   Computational film studies have concentrated on images ("distant viewing"), while the sound layer, especially what characters actually say, has received little automated study.
