Biography
Theresa is a postdoctoral researcher at IViR and part of the research team at the AI, Media & Democracy Lab. Her PhD research examined approaches to regulate platform opinion power in a concentrated digital media ecosystem. During this time, Theresa also spent three months as a visiting newsroom fellow at the Polis (Journalism and Society) think tank based at the Department of Media and Communication at the London School of Economics (LSE).
Her postdoctoral research concentrates on the governance of AI in the media, the regulation of opinion power, and (digital) media concentration law, with a particular emphasis on media pluralism, local journalism, and (infrastructural) dependencies of news media on Big Tech. Her current work investigates the EU regulatory frameworks, focusing closely on European media policy and the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), alongside emerging models of collaboration in journalism in the age of AI.
