Biography

I am currently the PI of the Becoming a leader in the media field: How journalists grow into managers project, which explores Finnish journalists' career paths into middle managerial positions as well as the well-being implications and organizational support of those roles. Simultaneously I work as a postdoctoral researcher in the GET:ORG - Generative technologies in communicative organizing project. Here, my focus is on how communicative AI shapes organizing on digital platforms. Additionally, I teach BA and MA students in the journalism discipline and supervise BA and MA theses related to the digitalization of journalism. I am a member of the Cocodigi research group.

Research interests

In my research, I explore the intersection of journalistic work and digitalization through theoretical perspectives situated in organization research. My work aims at understanding the changing institutional role of journalism as well as shedding light on communication in newsrooms and its relation to wellbeing in the media field. In my recent research, I have focused specifically on meaningful work, professional identity and artificial intelligence in organizations.
