I’m very proud and relieved because our book, Seriality in the Streaming Era, is out with Routledge Taylor & Francis Group 🙌 — it has been quite a ride with plenty of hard work.

Bo Kampmann Walther, Jakob Isak Nielsen, and Rasmus Rønlev and I, explore how serialized storytelling is being reshaped.

Public service media can thrive, also in the future.

It “only” takes stable funding, independence from politics, collaboration, savvy tech infrastructure investments, ‘must carry and promote’ obligations for platforms and the best, trustworthy journalistic standards.

Just that.

Mis/disinformation research officially cancelled.

Understanding the creation, content, distribution, and susceptibility is one of today’s key scientific and societal challenges.

Researching this is not free speech infringement. Such a claim is intentionally misleading.

Responding to the Trump administration attack on science @nature.com editorial:
“One priority must be to denounce these actions, to shout about their negative effects, to support researchers and to defend their ability to work and study without fear for their jobs”

Trump 2.0: an assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere

US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.
