Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the latest International Conference on #Scandalogy. I presented new #research on mediatised scandalisation processes. The conference also marked the official starting point of my #MSCA EU project. Many thanks to the HAW #Hamburg for having me 👍

New paper out on challenges, opportunities, and limitations of pilot studies❗ Drawing on a #DesignThinking pilot study, I utilized a three-phase analytical framework for understanding how pilot studies facilitate #knowledge transfer. Get the study here: doi.org/10.1108/QRJ-...

⏰ New book chapter ⏰ I examine the largely underexplored concept of AI-driven hyper-personalized news recommendations. In short, there are still several ethical and practical implications to be considered, both for newsrooms and audiences. 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/978-...

⏰ New open-access paper ⏰ We explored audiences' awareness of algorithmic news #personalisation in GER, FR, and the UK (N = 3,030). In short: There is a general lack of awareness and inequities related to age, gender, and political interest. 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/1369...

⏰ New open-access paper ⏰ We explored how #comments shape readers’ perception of an article’s journalistic quality. In short: positive reader comments affect the perception of specific journalistic #quality dimensions, while negative comments garner more attention. 🔗 doi.org/10.5771/2192...

🚨 New publication out now🚨 Together with Irene #Preisinger, I explore how structural & political pressures impact investigative journalism in Austria by using the #Ibiza affair as a case study. 🔍 Watchdog journalism is still hindered by elite influence & media-politics ties. 🔗 Get the full paper 👇

🚨New working paper on AI disclosure around news 🤖📝 Do audiences perceive news labeled as AI-generated as more or less trustworthy? In work led by @benjamintoff.bsky.social we find that the answer seems to be "less"  🔗 Pre-Print: osf.io/preprints/so... 🧵-summary ⬇️

Interessante Aussage von Oskar Lafontaine: “Es ist ein Irrtum zu glauben, dass die Arbeiter Parteiprogramme lesen oder studieren, was der Neoliberalismus ist.“ Mit Populismus und Parolen gewinnt man demnach Wahlen?
