We currently have the pleasure of hosting Karolina Garančovská & @lise-loresteeman.bsky.social for a research stay at the CCL! Both presented their fascinating ongoing work – from EU crisis communication to media representations & discrimination. 🧩 Thank you for sharing your insights with us! 🤗

New publication 🔍 @lise-loresteeman.bsky.social, @ansdenolf.bsky.social, Rozane De Cock and @leendhaenens.bsky.social examine the coverage of discrimination lawsuits in 318 Flemish news articles (2014–2022), comparing quality and popular newspapers: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/PQTDR...

What a wonderful way to start my three-month research stay at the Computational Communication Science Lab! 🗻🥾

Samen met David De Coninck en @leendhaenens.bsky.social schreef ik in Knack een opiniestuk over de rol van de openbare omroep in een tolerante samenleving. Aanleiding was het schrappen van DEI-beleid in de VS en de toenemende druk hierop in België. Onze argumenten baseren we op onze recente studie.

Our lab had the honor of organising the annual Etmaal van de Communicatiewetenschap, as part of the KU Leuven Department of Communication Sciences. As a result, we were not only visitors, but also presenters, chairs, and co-organisers of #Etmaal2025 💪. Already looking forward to next year's edition!

At #Etmaal2025, there were no less than 13 presentations by our research team! We discussed gaming and gambling, refugees and discrimination, arts, Islamophobia, data-driven healthcare, digital literacy, mental health, and everything in between. Check out all presentations below!

Hi fellow Bluesky-ers, this is the place to be! Bluesky will be our platform of choice for all #Etmaal2025 updates. Be part of the Etmaal Bluesky community during the conference by using our hashtag #Etmaal2025!

Excited to announce our OA Special Issue on ‘Evaluating and Enhancing Media Literacy and Digital Skills’ with evidence & scope reviews, effectiveness of interventions, reflections on tools & performance tests👇🏻

We encourage the #Etmaal2025 community to continue our engaging discussions in a space in line with our academic values. Therefore, we will gradually switch from X to BlueSky. Up until the conference, we will cross-post all information. During the conference, we will only use Bluesky (1/2)
