I am an Associate Professor at the Centre for Journalism, Department of Political Science and Public Management, University of Southern Denmark (SDU). I am also affiliated with the Digital Democracy Centre (DDC).

How do people engage with news, and how does news shape what they think, feel, and do? 

My research explores how news content and people’s news habits shape their understanding of politics and society, their democratic engagement, and their well-being. I am particularly interested in news avoidance, negative news, and constructive journalism.

On this site, you can find information about my research and publications, as well as my contributions to public debate on news, journalism, and democracy.

Interested in a talk, interview, or discussion about these topics? Feel free to get in touch.
