Forskningsområde

Mine forskningskompetencer ligger indenfor både humaniora og samfundsvidenskab. Min forskning har særlig vægt på medier og kommunikation herunder forskeres samarbejde med medierne omkring forskningsformidling og i deres rolle som ekspertkilder. Jeg har desuden analyseret mediernes beskrivelser af forskellige sociale grupper (analyser af mediestereotyper og mediebilleder) og mediernes dagsordensættende effekt i forbindelse med mediestorme. Jeg har erfaring med både kvantitative (survey og content analysis) og kvalitative (interview og tekstanalyse) metoder. Desuden har jeg forskningserfaring indenfor det informationsvidenskabelige område. Her har jeg beskæftiget mig med informationssøgning og med bibliometri
