Medialization has become like digitalization, rationalization,
dynamization, globalization, pluralization, hybridization, and
differentialization and is one of the buzzwords of modern Western
industrialized societies, which are all together essentially responsible
for structural change in communication. Medialization means the
adaption of producers to media logics, media formats, and media routines
& workflows. There are consequently and logically influences
because of the dynamic process of medialization to legal discourse and
genres, law, media, and social power. It has to be discussed if the
logics, data formats, and routines & workflows of new media and
information and communication technologies (ICTs) like social media are
creating also a new generation of genres and novel form of legal
discourses. Also, if social media will replace or complete old classic
media (law of Riepl), the question of the relevance of law concerning
new & social media has to be answered in close future. Lastly, if to
the fore of social power, these new novel resources are actually
framing for problem-based inquiries in law. There are big chances but
also serious risks in cyberworld, their realities, and dangers. There
actually exists an urgent call of action to theory building, development
of methodologies, and empirical research.
