So happy to finally attend the Future of Journalism Conference #FoJ2025 at Cardiff University — my first time onsite! 🎉

Great to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and explore a bit of this charming Welsh town!

🚀 Thrilled to share my new commentary, co-authored with T.J. Thomson, just published in the Communication Research and Practice Journal:
“Rethinking journalistic autonomy in the algorithmic era: toward context-aware, value-driven, and human-centred research into journalistic AI.”

Neo-Nazis and racist rallies: why it’s important the Australian media call them for what they are

When reporting on racist rallies, it’s important the media don’t fall for the shadowy language used by organisers.

The Conversation
Hit 100 citations on Google Scholar 🎉 Metrics aren’t everything, but it’s nice to know the work is useful. Also a reminder to update my profile—it still says “PhD candidate in Sweden,” but I’m now a Research Fellow in Melbourne 😅
Had an amazing time at #IAMCR2025 hosted by the Wee Kim Wee School at NTU Singapore. Inspiring panels, brilliant people, and a beautiful city. Huge thanks to the organisers—and to RMIT College of Design & Social Context for the lovely reception and warm welcome!

🌐 Thanks to everyone who joined our #IAMCR2025 panel on #GenerativeAI #Governance at Nanyang Technological University Singapore!

Papers covered:

• Data annotation labour in China
• Comparing GenAI patents in China, US and EU

Some are included in a forthcoming Information, Communication & Society special issue I’m co-editing with Fabian Ferrari. Let’s keep the discussion going!
