New job at the University of Copenhagen

In October I start as Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Copenhagen.

I’ve been a migrant abroad most of my adult life but have always thought of myself as Danish, and in today’s world, it is a special privilege to be from a county one can, and can happily, return to.

I will continue to collaborate directly with colleagues at the Reuters Institute at the University of Oxford on projects on AI, the Digital News Report, and Leadership Development as a Senior Research Associate.

It is a privilege to join a strong multidisciplinary department at the University of Copenhagen with colleagues from communication, media studies, CS, and more, and to move to a world-class public university committed to basic research, solutions-oriented work, and life-long learning.

It has been an honour to serve the Reuters Institute community as Director. I know the Institute will go on to greater things with a strong team, a record of independent research, a diverse range of funders, and deep connections with journalists, editors, and researchers worldwide. I’m glad I’ll still be part of that journey even as I start a new one with a focus on working with new colleagues in Copenhagen.
