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! 🤗
Karolina and Lise-Lore stand side by side outdoors against a stone wall, smiling at the camera. Karolina wears a black top and jeans, with arms crossed, while Lise-Lore wears a bright blue blouse and black trousers. The photo conveys a friendly and professional atmosphere. Karolina Garančovská presents in a classroom, standing beside a projection slide titled “Crisis all around? Crisisification of the EU Institutional Discourse.” She gestures while speaking, wearing a light grey sweater and black trousers. A chalkboard and classroom lights are visible in the background. Lise-Lore Steeman stands at the front of a classroom giving a presentation titled “From Bias to Balance: Examining media representations, public attitudes and campaigns in understanding discrimination.” She is smiling, wearing a bright blue blouse, and standing in front of a projected slide and a chalkboard filled with math formulas.

Now out in Party Politics 🎉

Our study (@jbpilet.bsky.social)suggests that when a mainstream right-wing party signals willingness to rule with the radical right, support for the radical right rises — while the mainstream gains nothing.

New publication out in #IJPP! 📑
We study how audience expectations of journalism 📰 shifted during COVID-19 in Austria 🇦🇹 – showing both short-term rally effects & longer-term recalibration 🔄.
Led by @clmron.bsky.social & @danielwiesner.bsky.social , w/ @andreasriedl.bsky.social & me. 1/n
Screenshot of an academic article titled “Rally and Recalibrate: Political Dynamics of Audience Expectations of Journalism During Times of Crisis” published in The International Journal of Press/Politics (OnlineFirst, Sage Journals). Authors: Claire Roney, Daniel Wiesner, Andreas A. Riedl, and Jakob-Moritz Eberl. The abstract explains that the study examines how audience expectations of journalism in Austria evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies shifts toward emerging journalistic roles such as Fact Checker and Science Communicator, based on data from three waves of the Austrian Corona Panel Project. Findings show fluctuating audience expectations tied to changes in public trust and crisis dynamics, emphasizing journalism’s need for adaptability. Keywords listed: journalism, audience expectations, trust in institutions, crisis attitudes, survey research, COVID-19. doi: https://doi.org/10.1177/19401612251375203
