Personal profile
Short presentation
I am an assistant professor at University of Copenhagen in Denmark. In my research, I am especially interested in media industries and their creative processes - from TV production to video games and podcasts - and particularly in themes like creativity, autonomy, time management, working conditions, streaming services, reality TV, and ratings. In 2022, I published the book "Researching Creativity in Media Industries" (Rowman & Littlefield).
I finished my PhD in 2019 and my dissertation was a production study of the digitalisation and the idea development processes at the Danish public-service youth TV channel DR3. I have published in several international journals such as Media, Culture & Society, Convergence, Critical Studies in Television, and Nordicom Review. I am also the chair of the Media Industries division under NordMedia and a member of The Danish Radio and Television Board (2025-2028) and of the editorial team at MedieKultur – Journal of media and communication research.
