Research

In my research, I explore innovation in the media industries, asking how organizations within an old institution (the press) adapt to and appropriate new technologies. In particular, I focus on how news organizations capture data traces from their users and put that resource to use in strategic and tactical decision-making. Furthermore, I research developments in digital business models for media organizations.

I currently work on a number of projects, and it would be too much to list all of them here. But the most important ones are:

  • Micropayments and datawalls (2022-): Together with Thomas Spejlborg Sejersen, I research micropayments and datawalls as alternative ways of payment for digital editorial content. The project is supported by the Aller Foundation through a 350,000 DKK grant.
  • The Datafied News Industry (2020-): In this project, I research the political economy of how news organizations capture, use, and understand user data as a strategic and editorial resourse.
