Congrats, and hope you had a great conference! 🎉

Thanks, as always, to the @ijoc-usc.bsky.social editorial team and reviewers, as well as my doctoral committee, without whom this work would not exist in its current form (Patricia Moy, Matt Powers, Yuan Hsiao & @yarivtsfati.bsky.social). (6/6)

Such favorability alongside unmet normative expectations, I argue, reflects individuals’ relative institutional trust in journalism above any substantive evaluation of media performance. (5/6)

Despite this gap between desired and anticipated practices, respondents expressed generally positive perceptions toward journalists, often contrasting this confidence with frustration toward political representatives. (4/6)

I find that although respondents desire for media professionals to expose corruption, serve the public, and provide social support to communities, they expect in practice that journalists will accept bribes and produce government-leaning content. (3/6)

Using in-depth interviews conducted in Kampala in spring 2023, the study illuminates individuals' expectations of journalists and journalism in Uganda to understand situated referents of media trust. (2/6)

Thanks, as always, to the reviewers and editors
@jmcquarterly.bsky.social as well as colleagues
@icajsd.bsky.social and elsewhere who have provided feedback along the way!

In it, we analyze statehouse content from eight news orgs in WA state with two major takeaways: 1) nearly half of all state legislative coverage is produced by non-statehouse beat reporters and 2) sourcing and topics indeed vary by the types of reporters involved in this work.

In even better news... Glad to see this picked up by Brier Dudley @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social!

Thanks to IJPP editor @profvaccari.bsky.social, special issue editors Ruth Moon, @leahellmueller.bsky.social and Herman Wasserman, and reviewers for helpful comments on the manuscript. And, as always, none of this would be possible w/o the journalists who agreed to speak with me. 🙏 (4/4)

This third paper explores ways that the social profiles of those who attend peace journalism trainings may shape how the normative model is ultimately adapted across contexts. Using field theory, I focus on participants' education, career trajectory, and conflict experience (3/4)

While related publications have addressed 1) how journalists who attend peace journalism trainings define peace journalism and 2) how a subset of these journalists ascribe value to trainings despite feeling as though they already practice peace journalism... (2/4)
