I have for several years been specialising in research about cultural journalism and cultural criticism across media, incl. the interplay of cultural journalists and their news sources from the cultural industries; media sociological perspectives on cultural journalism; and longitudinal studies of the transformation of cultural journalism in the news media. In 2014, I initiated a Nordic research network for scholars stuyding cultural journalism (funded by NOS-HS 2014-15). The network led to a compartive research project about discourses on popular culture, such as quality TV-series and bestselleres, in Nordic newspapers, funded by Arts Council Norway (2016-17). 2015-2019, I was PI of the research project From Ivory Tower to Twitter: Rethinking the Cultural Critic in Contemporary Media Culture, studying the transformation of cultural criticism in view of digital media and funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark. From 2020-2023, I am Danish partner and WP-leader in the H2020-project, INVENT (https://inventculture.eu/), studying Europeans' conceptions of and participation in culture, including the role of digital media. Based on a Carlsberg Monograph Fellowship I will in 2023-24 turn parts of my extensive work on cultural journalism in the digital age into a monograph to be published by Routledge. From 2019, I serve as chair of Section of Media Studies at Department of Communication.
