Collegiate Affiliation
Hubbard School of Journalism & Mass Communication

I am a journalism studies scholar focused on what is happening to news in a changing media environment. My research concentrates primarily on how different actors publicly compete to define journalism and its boundaries, dictate its normative and ethical commitments, and establish proper forms of news—all of which has epistemic and political consequences for society. My research program advances conceptual tools to make sense of these processes, including journalistic authority, metajournalistic discourse, and boundary work.
