Shortcuts to trust: Relying on cues to judge online news from unfamiliar sources on digital platforms
Scholarship has increasingly sought solutions for reversing broad declines in levels of trust in news in many countries. Some have advocated for news organizations to adopt strategies around transparency or audience engagement, but there is limited evidence about whether such strategies are effective, especially in the context of news consumption on digital platforms where audiences may be particularly likely to encounter news from sources previo…
Diagnosis as Subculture: Subversions of Health and Medical Knowledges in the Orthorexia Recovery Community on Instagram
Diagnoses are powerful tools that fulfill various practical and symbolic functions. In this paper, I examine how a contested diagnosis called orthorexia nervosa has been taken up by users on Instagram, where tens of thousands of posts engage with the topic, many of them from individuals who identify with the condition. I put scholarship on medicalization and diagnosis in conversation with literature on subcultures to foreground the subversive wor…
It’s a Battle You Are Never Going to Win: Perspectives from Journalists in Four Countries on How Digital Media Platforms Undermine Trust in News
The growing prominence of platforms in news consumption has raised scholarly concerns about potential impacts on trust in news, which has declined in many countries.

In this paper, we draw on 85 interviews with news workers from four countries in both the Global North and South to examine journalists…

This paper examines recent transformations in music industries associated with platformization by privileging the perspectives, experiences, and voices of artists. We draw on in-depth interviews with 41 musicians based in two Latin American countries: Costa Rica and Mexico. We analyze how artists perceive the “power” and limitations of playlists, how they think playlists are transforming music industries, and how they associate various forms of p…
Intersections of health and gender imperatives: Stratified decision-making among women with a BRCA mutation
Can naughty be healthy: Healthism and its discontents in news coverage of orthorexia nervosa
Medicalization in the Media: News Coverage of a New and Uncertain Diagnosis
The concept of orthorexia nervosa emerged in 1997 to describe a pathological obsession with healthy eating. Before any consensus was reached by the medical community, orthorexia started to appear in the news. But how do news media cover a diagnosis with an uncertain and unofficial status? Based on a qualitative content analysis of 492 news articles published between 1998 and 2016 and interviews with reporters, this paper explores the growth and s…
If Nobody Gives a Shit, is it Really News: Changing standards of news production in a learning newsroom
While a growing body of academic research explores the evolution of production practices within formal news organizations, much less attention is paid to how journalism schools are addressing the demands of the profession in the twenty-first century. Strains on the traditional routines, practices and unwritten rules of news production challenge those involved in professional development to rethink the standards and skills they prioritize as they …
