Step by Step.
Science
Since 2018 I work as a reseach assistant and lecturer for the Chair of Communication Science at the University of Passau.
Prof. Dr. Ralf Hohlfeld supervises my PhD studies . My dissertation focuses on the influence of convergent workflows in newsrooms on the working conditions and the individual news output.
My PhD studies are supported by the Bavarian Science Forum (BayWISS), I am part of the collaborative PhD network "Communication & Media".
Bachelor Studies
From 2015 to 2018 I studied Media and Communication (B.A.) at the University of Passau.
My personal highlights were a TV-Show on the German federal elections 2017 and the Crossmedia Summer School.
For my bachelor thesis, I researched which factors on a personal level empower recipients to evaluate the credibility of online news sources properly.
Engagement
Between 2020 and 2023, I represented the interests of the academic teaching staff on the Faculty Council of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences and Education at the University of Passau.
From 2019 to 2023, I was part of the managing committee of the Association of Friends and Supporters of Communication Science at the University of Passau, which promotes research and teaching of Communication Science and helps connecting students, alumni and media professionals.
Practical Experience
One of the main subjects I teach is practical journalism. I support students of the B.A. Journalism and Strategic Communication from the basics like journalistic genres and research to their practical graduation project, the Journalism Masterclass.
In 2018, I did a three month internship at the PR agency Weber Shandwick in Munich. I got an insight in the departments Consumer and Technology.
