Updated my LinkedIn Profile

After serveral months of social network abstinence I updated my LinkedIn-Profile... :)

Momentum 2013 - Fortschritt

I should do some advertising for the upcoming Momentum congress and I got an AWESOME package of poster and information material :)

Thanks to the organizing Committee for being so fast!

The topic of this year is PROGRESS and that is one interesting issue, in our current societal and economic climate!

Updated the blog a bit.

Small update of the blog.
Trying to keep up with my schedule!

Okay my dissertation is progressing and the first 10 days lead to 573 datasets!

YES - already passed the minimum number of completed datasets I needed for my thesis, and already past the halfway point of a good large data set ;)

Thanks to the Johannes Kepler University Linz and Paris Lodron University Salzburg!

Yeah IGN does not really do journalistic work. But those memes are getting really interesting for me.
Can special interest media even do "journalism" and survive?

Okay... The mighty GAF has even a gooooood long thread on the whole issue of gaming journalism!

Women and media industries in Europe

And just a short follow up to my last post:
Susanne Kirchhoff and me are the Austrian research team for the new project funded by the "European Institute for Gender Equality"(EIGE) and we have now reached stage 3 of the project - conducting interviews with female journalists in Austrian media.

Young female journalists - a favourite topic of mine...

Yesterday the newest edition of Momentum Quarterly was published.
And it contains a peer-reviewed article in German by Martina and me.

We are proud to have it published in a starting open access journal.

Look it up: "Jung, weiblich und Journalistin: Endstation Prekrariat?"

Oxford and journalism ethics

Just a short heads up...
We - that is Roman Hummel, Susanne Kirchhoff and me, Dimitri Prandner - were at the" Journalism Ethics: Individual, institutional or cultural?" and presented our paper that gave insight to some of the more pressing issues in Austrian journalism regarding ethics and regulation.

Paper is currently under review and thus we are not able to hand it out at this time, but the sildes are available upon request.

Book Review (German) - Conflict, Citizenship and Civil Society

This is short book review regarding the following collection:

Baert, Patrick, Sokratis M. Koniordos, Giovanna Procacci u. Carlo Ruzza (Ed.):
Conflict, Citizenship and Civil Society;
Routledge, New York 2010

Sorry that the review is in German, but in short: It's a great collection on the current discussion on citizenship issues in Europe, even if a bit more cohesion would have been great.

Full papers and the blog

In the future I will offer some full papers on the blog, as long as they are not firmly rooted in the social sciences and may be primarly interesting people outside the academia.

They will all be under creative commons and I invite everybody to read and cite them. Enjoy them and feel free to provide feedback!
