Good morning, #ica25!

See you in a bit at the hybrid ICA@75 theme session: "Diversity in Communication Research: Dynamics and Trends"!?

From 9:00 to 10:15 in Centennial E (Hyatt Regency).

Still thinking about which session to attend at #ica25 this morning?

Consider our MassComm session "The Evolution of Mass Communication: Adapting Research to a Fragmented Media Landscape and Digital Future" with a stellar line-up.

And don't forget our business meeting right before that!

Roeland Dubèl investigated this using a large-scale content analysis of 27,096 news articles from six Dutch news outlets.

The paper is now published in @jmcquarterly.bsky.social. Open-access at : journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

My latest article is published in the Journal of Communication!

Thank you to all those that contributed!

This "media expert" clearly thinks it might be a bad idea to even further concentrate the Dutch news media landscape in the hands of a few (three major players: NPO, Mediahuis, DPG). 🤓

Help needed (pls repost)! As the ICA24 deadline is approaching, and almost everyone can relate to the Mass Comm division, please help this planner out and sign up for 1 or 2 reviews — even is Gold Coast is too far for you. You can do so here ica2024.abstractcentral.com by following these steps.
