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
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 June 2023, I succesfully defended my PhD thesis: This Is Not Real News: Discursive Struggles over Fake News, Journalism, and Democracy.
I am currently part of the project ‘Tell Me the Truth: Fact-Checkers in an Age of Epistemic Instability' funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.
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.
