The first study of my PhD has been published in @journalcam.bsky.social! 🎉 Together with @baldwinvangorp.bsky.social and @michaelopgenhaffen.bsky.social, we studied what factors in news elicit fear in children and how they perceive and experience the mediation of news by adults. Read it here!

2/3 team @baldwinvangorp.bsky.social had @lisabormans.bsky.social taking about dementia framing while Baldwin presented Anaïs A’s work on framing of depaving. @silkebrandsen.bsky.social zoomed in on consolation strategies in children’s news 📺
