Exiled journalists often secure their digital communication with tools offered free or at low cost by US tech giants. Could these be affected by the changing US political climate? To horizon scan the risks, join our panel of experts in Berlin on March 20:

Proud supervisor moment! Check out Rituparna Banerjee's article on how women political candidates visually constructed their political performance on social media during the 2021 West Bengal Elections. It's open access on Convergence.

Got to work with two of my favourite colleagues @soomins and @LindsayPalmerUW on a topic close to all three of us and maybe more of us: are we asking ourselves the right questions about what we are doing as journalism researchers?.
