Research
My interests are in local journalism from different perspectives, from innovative hyperlocal entrepreneurs to how traditional media adapts to today's digital audience, and how public communication officials relate to the local media ecosystem. Presently, much of my research evolves around METRICS, and how the news media use web analytics and data as a management tool in the newsroom.
