My research explores the intersection of digital media, journalism, disinformation, and democracy. I have published on these issues in journals such as New Media & Society, Journalism Studies, Social Media + Society, and Critical Discourse Studies.
My latest book is the edited collection Digital Media Metaphors: A Critical Introduction, which presents a critical analysis of digital metaphors such as 'filter bubble', 'platform', 'rabbit hole', and 'troll'.
The second edition of my monograph, Post-Truth, Fake News and Democracy: Mapping the Politics of Falsehood, was published by Routledge in December 2023. Written with Jannick Schou, the book presents a critical examination of discourses around fake news and the so-called post-truth era.
In the past, I have been a Visiting Researcher at Cornell University, Chair of the Young Scholars Network of the European Communication Research and Education Association (YECREA), and a speaker at institutions such as the Council of Europe, the Swedish Ministry of Culture, and the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats.
