Infoscape Centre welcomes back Dr. Joanna Redden as research associate and SSHRC post-doctoral fellow

The Infoscape centre is very happy to welcome back Dr. Joanna Redden. Joanna recently completed a PhD at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work considers how news coverage of poverty, both news content and
the processes involved in the generation of news, influence responses to poverty in Canada and the United Kingdom. She focuses in particular on how two contemporary forces influence working practices and news
content: neoliberalism and the increasing use of digital technologies. Joanna is presently developing her next project which will investigate how media content and tools influence politicians and civil servants in their development of immigration politics and policy. Joanna has also worked in the fields of politics and media. You can find Joanna’s
published work in Fenton, N. (ed.) New Media, Old News: Journalism and Democracy in a Digital Age (Sage, 2009), Loader, B. and Mercea, D. (eds.) Social Media and Democracy: Innovations in Participatory Politics (Routledge, 2012), and in Information, Communication & Society (2011).
