| Abstract | Consisting of two academic papers, this Master’s thesis explores, operationalizes and measures the concept of mediatization in the context of public administration. As a first step, a scoping review of the literature is deployed to highlight the main topics discussed in the literature on the mediatization of politics, to identify gaps in the field, as well as to better understand how studies on mediatization align with the broader literature on political communication. The scoping process indicates that: (1) Studies investigating the association of the political sphere and the news media logics constitute the majority of studies on mediatization while the influence of media logic on the public administration is few studied; (2) Approaches used to study mediatization of politics are mostly qualitative; (3) Mediatization of public administration has been quantitatively analyzed in an essentially European setting; and (4) Indicators used to measure the degree of mediatization are still greatly heterogeneous between studies. The second part of the thesis fits precisely into these gaps defined by operationalizing the concept of mediatization of public administration and evaluating its evolution in the public service using the case of Quebec’s ministries from 2003 to 2017. This paper aims to answer the following research question: What is the evolution in the degree of mediatization among Quebec’s Ministries ? An automated content analysis with machine learning is deployed to analyze a large body of strategic administrative documents. Two evaluations of mediatization are compared :a categorical measure and a measure of salience. The results show that the aggregation of nine indicators—all of which measure the mediatization of public administration—makes it possible to measure the concept reliably. Applied to the case of Quebec, the measure shows an increase in the level of mediatization in all ministries. The results make it possible to formulate questions regarding the operationalization of the mediatization of public administration. The analysis also shows that salience appears to be a reliable measure for data from the public administration. |
