Fantastic presentation by Camila Valgas, making her ICA debut with her first PhD-study on immigrants' news use. Proud supervisor! (w/ @skruikemeier.bsky.social & Yael de Haan) #ica25

And last but not least, Camila Valgas presents her study “Understanding the News Consumption of Immigrants in the Digital Age: Motivations, Strategies, and Challenges" with @tgrootkormelink.bsky.social , Yael De Haan & @skruikemeier.bsky.social #ica25 @icajsd.bsky.social

@jbgruber.bsky.social & @vanatteveldt.com argue that as data become more difficult to collect (no APIs, scraping more difficult) we need to share existing data more. And how non-consumptive research is a way to do that without goi g to jail! #ica25

@vanatteveldt.com presents a new Dutch stance detection datasets and makes important points that are often neglected in sentiment analyses in communication research #ica25

Het alumnimagazine 'idea' van mijn eigen Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen vroeg me om voor hun nieuwe issue rond 'Verbinding' een bijdrage neer te pennen. Voorbij kliks kijken is hoognodig voor nieuwsmedia om de brug met hun publiek te slaan.
