Wrapping up a fantastic week in Brno, at MUNI, full of talks with colleagues about research including my recent book and with students about journalism and politics, as well as a nice time touring around South Moravia. Thanks for having us @lenkawc.bsky.social @ksmejkal.bsky.social & colleagues

The second book is my own. In Journalism in a Fractured World, I draw on theories from journalism studies and from politics to reflect on the emergence of peripheral journalistic actors and the nature of their challenges to the journalistic field. www.peterlang.com/document/128...

The first volume in this series is Lenka Waschková Císařová's The Margins of Journalism. www.peterlang.com/document/134... This fascinating book looks at the small, local newspapers that popped up around the Czech Republic as it transitioned towards democracy, and how they have developed since.

I am happy to announce that the first two books in the Frontiers in Journalism Studies Series are now out. I have been developing this series with Peter Lang since 2022 as a space for scholars to develop provocative, forward-looking research. www.peterlang.com/series/fijs #PeterLangAuthor

And, somewhere in the mix yesterday I also presented on the theories we use to think through journalism’s ‘dependencies’

Yesterday was a full-on day of papers on journalism’s interdependencies, epistemology, the health of the journalism-audience relationship, sources in covering climate crises, journalism & innovation @richardstupart.com @sandrabanjac.bsky.social @gehrke.bsky.social
