🎈 Starting a new #postdoc project funded by the The Ella and Georg Ehrnrooth Foundation, exploring how young Hungarians define "news" when facing both global platform chaos AND a state-aligned media system. What counts as news anymore? What should journalism actually do?

The episode explored integration challenges and government funding cuts to integration services, while also highlighting our key finding: second-generation immigrants feel just as strong ownership of Finland as majority Finns, but through active participation rather than historical connection.(2/3)

This looks fascinating. @paologerbaudo.bsky.social is constantly a few years ahead of the curve in thinking creatively about the intersection of politics, media and culture - so he is one of those authors I always take seriously and drop everything to read!
