Deuzevlog

In this installment of my combined vlog/podcast series of conversations with scholars whose publications inspire and inform my work, a panel discussion with three fabulous colleagues: Maria Norbäck (University of Gothenburg), Errol Salamon (University of Huddersfield), and Erwin van 't Hof (University of Amsterdam). All are researching the working lives of media workers generally, and freelance journalists in particular.  

The discussion focuses on the experiences of journalists in the coronavirus context, the various ways in which reporters resist, circumvent or alternatively organize the structural precariousness of their work, and how we, as researchers, can take responsibility for researching freelance journalists.    

The conversation was recorded on November 2, 2020 and is available in YouTube as a #Deuzevlog.

In this series of interviews with scholars I am a fan of a conversation with Vicky Mayer, Associate Dean for Academic Initiatives and Curriculum and Professor in the Department of Communication of Tulane University, USA. Before this, she held the Louise and Leonard Riggio Professorship (2014-2019). 

In our seminar we discuss the various ways in which (media) production studies offers us valuable insights in the way media work, and how media work takes place. 

Originally recorded with Zoom on July 10, 2020.  This interview is part of a series of podcasts that are also available as vlogs on YouTube (as Deuzevlog). 

In this series of interviews with scholars I am a fan of a conversation with Stina Bengtsson, professor of Media and Communication Studies at  Södertörn University (Sweden), and Karin Fast, Associate Professor in  Media and Communication Studies at Karlstad University (Sweden), and  researcher at the Department of Media and Communication Studies at the  University of Oslo (Norway).  

We discuss their important work on media and everyday life, and the  unique (and perhaps impossible) role of media scholarship in a time of  pervasive and ubiquitous media. This conversation is also inspired by their joint publication (in 2020) of the research paper "Media and basic  desires: An approach to measuring the mediatization of daily human life" (also co-authored with André Jansson and Johan Lindell) in the  academic journal Communications.  

As Stina beautifully articulates near the end of our conversation: the coronavirus crisis offers an opportunity to collectively look at and study the media - not because media have broken down, but because  everything else has broken down...

This is the podcast version of a vlog (available on YouTube, recorded July 8, 2020), featuring a seminar on the various roles emotions play in journalism, featuring Karin Wahl-Jorgensen (Cardiff University), Johana Kotišová (Masaryk University) and Charlie Beckett (POLIS@LSE), hosted by Mark Deuze (University of Amsterdam). 

We specifically discuss emotional literacy as a key competence for journalists, how emotional authenticity and storytelling can establish trust and compassion between journalists and audiences, and how the still dominant emotional regime and culture of journalism makes emotions at time difficult to process and (especially) express as a professional.

This podcast is based on the video conversation with my dear friend and colleague Tamara Witschge (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and University of Groningen) recorded on July 14, 2020, where we discuss our work on researching entrepreneurship, being entrepreneurial (as a media maker as well as a scholar), and also being authentic as a whole human being in the research process.

In my ongoing series of interviews with scholars I admire - available on video on YouTube (search for #deuzevlog) - in this podcast a conversation with Claudia Mellado, Professor at the Escuela de Periodismo of Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, Chile. We discuss her epic international comparative project Journalistic Role Performance, now including researchers from 47 countries. We discuss the project, her commitment to diversify and dewesternize journalism, media and communication studies, and the hybrid, complex and dynamic ways in which journalists 'make it work' around the world today.

This is the podcast of my video conversation with Terry Flew, Professor of Communication and Creative Industries in the Creative Industries Faculty at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. We talk about his tenure as President of the International Communication Association during the global coronavirus crisis, about the role of truth and trust in relationships between journalism and publics, and the productive tension between understanding global media and studying (as well as appreciating) local media cultures, policies and systems. 

The interview was originally recorded on July 29, 2020.

One of my favorite conversations in this series of interviews with scholars whose publications inspire and inform my work, I'm thrilled and privileged to have as a guest Zizi Papacharissi, Professor and Head of the Communication Department at the University of Illinois-Chicago. 

The video of this conversation is available on YouTube.

In our wideranging conversation we touch upon what it takes to be a scholar, how to find and form your own voice, and how she came up with and explored some of the key concepts she has given the field of (new) media studies: affective publics and the networked self. We also touch upon her new (2021) book, published with Yale University Press, titled After Democracy.

In this audio installment of my #deuzevlog series on YouTube of interviews with scholars whose publications inspire and inform my work, I sit down with Henry Jenkins, Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism, Cinematic Arts and Education at the University of Southern California. With Henry we talk about life and career spanning well over three decades, exploring where his key ideas on participatory culture, youth activism and media literacy come from, how his youth and upbringing shaped his perspective and attitude, and how public scholarship can emerge and thrive in the contemporary university.
