Scholl’s main research fields are theoretical and empirical journalism research, theory of communication science, methodology in social science and alternative media.
Prof. Dr. Armin Scholl (1962) studied Communication Science, Political Science, Comparative Literature and German Literature at the University of Mainz (from 1982 to 1985) and at the University of Münster (from 1985 to 1991). He completed his doctoral thesis on “Reactivity in the Research Interview” in 1991. From 1992 to 1994 he conducted (together with Siegfried Weischenberg and Martin Löffelholz) the study “Journalism in Germany”, a representative survey of German journalists, which is comparable to the Weaver & Wilhoit study on “The American Journalist”.
After completing this study, Scholl worked as Assistant Professor at Freie Universität Berlin (Department of Communication Science) from 1994 to 1998 and then returned to Münster as Associated Professor.
In 2000 and 2001 he conducted (again in a team with Siegfried Weischenberg and other colleagues) a study on “Outlines of Media Communication. Differentiation and De-Differentiation of Structures and Performances of Journalism in the Information Society”, which included several case studies on boundary phenomena in journalism. From 2003 to 2005 Siegfried Weischenberg, Maja Malik and Armin Scholl replicated the “Journalism in Germany” study of the 1990s. In April 2010 Scholl has become full professor.
