@martinscott, Mel Bunce and I have a new book out! I'm experimenting with promoting this on Mastodon rather than the Blue Bird, so all boosts would be *very* much appreciated. The book is the product of 5 years of research and 150 interviews and is free to access.

Any other UK folk here about to go on #ucu strike on Th? It's going to be weird striking and not tweeting. The drop in pay we have all experienced over the last few years is really biting now inflation is so bad. It's -1 C tonight and heating is so expensive, I daren't turn it on.

Am told an #Introduction is normal here, so here goes. I'm an Assoc Prof of #Media and Communication at the University of Edinburgh, where I'm based in #polisci and IR. I research international #journalism, inc. work on state and foundation funded outlets. When I'm not doing academic stuff, you'll probably find me up a Scottish mountain. Looking to build a new community here, so pls get in touch #polcomm #commodon
