Alla Rybina
University of Gothenburg PhD Candidate, Research on Data Journalism
Gothenburg, Sweden
In my PhD project I am exploring the concept of Data Journalism. Questions that drive my research include ideas of journalistic professionalism and identity, the future of journalism, journalistic culture, the new practices and dynamics of journalism production. The overall goal of my project is to explore the potential of data journalism in contributing to a democratic development.
I am involved in teaching on the Master's programme in Investigative Journalism at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. I am part of the team teaching on the course JU2602 'Data journalism and visualization' (15 ECTS), where I have given lectures (in English) on such topics as Data Journalism research and Open Data.
