Together with @stevepaulussen, I provide necessary reflection on why audience analytics are used in journalism and whose interests they serve.

“Hoe hoger op het academisch laddertje, hoe minder vrouwen er overblijven. Meer dan 70% van het hooglerarenkorps is man (…) en dat terwijl vrouwelijke studenten in regel beter presteren dan mannelijke.”

Last day at the conference but still plenty of interesting presentations! @HanneTillemans sheds light on perceptions of political impartiality in news media among citizens, journalists, and politicians. Ideology's impact is profound across all groups! #ica24 #ica_jsd

Cool study by @MattisNicolas @FSW_VU 🔥 His field experiment highlights how prominent article positioning boosts news selection, engagement, and recall #ica24 @poli_com

This morning @rptkiddle of @journstudiesVU presented fascinating research on feedback loops (cc @annekroon @KasperWelbers @damian0604). Their work illustrates how digital pathways influence sequential behavior, shedding light on evolving news consumption patterns. #ica24 #ica_jsd

Interesting discussion led by @JnthnHndrckx on news avoidance! Wrapping up with question: Should we as scholars always view news avoidance as problematic? As news researchers, we're a unique group with a distinct perspective #ica24 #ica_jsd

Meticulous work presented by @CatoWaeterloos (cc @DesireeSchmuck @MichOpgenhaffen @petervanaelst). Her systematic lit review revealed that ‘political knowledge’ is still largely ill-defined and rarely accounts for social media logic #ica24 @poli_com

Interesting presentation by Sherine Conyers based on +200hrs of field work to see platformization at work in the newsroom and the role metrics play therein 📊Ending with the rhetorical question whether “we want journalism that keeps counting or journalism that counts?”

Kicking off #ica24 with a trip down memory lane of our esteemed division. Happy 20th anniversary, @Journalism_ICA!

Framing this one from september’s student evaluations: “Good outfits!”. If I can be one thing, please let it be “the fashionable academic”💅🏻

Duo presentation #IJPP23 w/ @KathleenBeckers (also on behalf @petervanaelst) about our work on online harassment of political journalists. We mainly explored the role of politicians as instigators of this harassment.

Presented research we conducted with our BA and MA students on how young people experience TikTok and how temporality is particularly relevant in the experience with news on the platform. Amazing crowd with insightful questions & comments #FoJ2023 @TGrootKormelink @CosteraIrene

This morning, my partner told me I was talking in my sleep again. In English, even though my mother tongue is Dutch. Apparently, I “completely agreed”. Looks like I’m having quite some post #ica23 blues and the discussant in my dream made an interesting remark🧐

Great panel composed by @TGrootKormelink (@journstudiesVU) and @joelleswart (@univgron_journ)! They advocate for a “non-news centric turn” and highlight key challenges and possible solutions for audience researchers #ica_jsd #ICA23

Last day enjoying the ☮️ and🤫 of @BanffNP before I’m headed to Toronto for #ICA23. Looking forward to hearing about all new thought-provoking work @Journalism_ICA. Happy to talk about audience metrics, technology and navigating academia as an early career over a coffee. HMU☕️

On this #InternationalWomensDay let’s remind that girls don’t want no chocolates (or maybe a few on an evening giving feedback on student’s interviews), we want:

A little #ThrowbackThursday. Don’t be afraid and self-nominate! 🏆 I was quite hesitant to do so last year, and I think the neighbors heard me scream of joy when I found out I’d actually won. By far the best day in my professional career! @Journalism_ICA

Jumping into the new year quite literally… 🇿🇦 Make it count folks✨

In februari starten de eerste IT studenten aan @AP_Hogeschool in het nieuwe AI traject. Om dit te vieren organiseren ze op 15 februari een inspirerende avond met lezingen over AI toepassingen in verschillende domeinen. Ik kom er vertellen over AI in de journalistiek!

Is there a doctor in the room? There is one if you need someone who’s knowledgeable about how algorithms are augmenting the journalistic institution. Congrats, dr. @CoolsHannes, you #phdid it👨🏻‍🎓
