Who instigates online attacks on journalists? Can we see them, or do they hide in the shadows? Are they trolls, propaganda soldiers, or "useful simpletons"? I use mob censorship to map the structure, logic, and ripple effects of the attacks. (Ask, I'll share!)

Two takeaways from last week's @acadianjprof.bsky.social lecture on joy in journalism:
-Journalists find joy in storytelling, connections & unique perspectives. Humour can build resilience.
-Newsrooms can foster joy by balancing tough stories with uplifting ones. Sincere feedback & gratitude matter!

the feeling when you get a review pointing out some unclear sentences in the manuscript you wrote, but you do not remember anymore what you meant by them. oh the combination of the uni not providing editing service to researchers and english as a learned language. merry deciphering, signe! 🥲🤓

Article alert! I and Brit wrote about how TV news shapes our collective memory and creates a sense of presence during major international events like the Notre Dame fire, Alexei Navalny's poisoning, and the 2021 U.S. Capitol storming.

Interviews with journalists in Estonia (2012–2023) reveal: clicks STILL matter (+other metrics). We argue that metrics act like a mirror, in which the journalist sees their decisions and reactions to them, not what the audience actually needs or wants. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
