Capturing News, Capturing Democracy: Trump and the Voice of America
New York: Oxford University Press (2024), viii, 294 pp.
"How did the Trump administration capture one of the world’s most important public service news networks? This book uses rare interviews and an analysis of private correspondence and internal documents to explain why and how Voice of America (VOA) became intensely politicized from 2020 to 2021. It

The Influence of News Coverage on Humanitarian Aid: The Bureaucrats’ Perspective
Journalism Studies, volume 23, issue 2 (2022), pp. 167-186
"We examine if and how news coverage influences governments’ humanitarian aid allocations, from the perspective of the senior bureaucrats involved in such decision-making. Using rare in-depth interviews with 30 directors and senior policymakers in 16 of the world’s largest donor countries, we fo

Soft Power, Hard News: How Journalists at State-Funded Transnational Media Legitimize Their Work
International Journal of Press/Politics, volume 25, issue 4 (2020), pp. 607-631
"How do journalists working for different state-funded international news organizations legitimize their relationship to the governments which support them? In what circumstances might such journalists resist the diplomatic strategies of their funding states?We address these questions through a comp

"Humanitarian journalism can be defined, very broadly, as the production of factual accounts about crises and issues that affect human welfare. This can be broken down into two broad approaches: “traditional” reporting about humanitarian crises and issues, and advocacy journalism that aims to im

Foundation Funding and the Boundaries of Journalism
Journalism Studies, volume 20, issue 14 (2019), pp. 2034-2052
"Private foundations are an important source of funding for many news outlets. It has even been suggested that they may offer a partial solution to journalism’s economic crisis. Yet we do not know how foundation funding shapes journalistic practice. In this article, we show that foundation funding

Foundation-Funded Journalism, Philanthrocapitalism and Tainted Donors
Journalism Studies, volume 20, issue 5 (2019), pp. 675-695
"Not-for-profit news organisations are increasingly funded by private foundations, supported by wealthy entrepreneurs. This raises a range of ethical dilemmas for journalists, which are particularly serious when their donors are alleged to have been involved in unethical or illegal activities. Altho
...
Foundation-Funded Journalism: The State of Research. Reading List
Humanitarian-journalism.net (2019), 6 pp.
"Research into foundation-funded journalism is relatively scarce and disconnected. There is, for example, no single edited volume on this topic. This matters because while philanthropists and foundations often want to support journalism, it is not always clear how they should do this. Similarly, jou

"Throughout the 19th and early 20th century, the predecessors of NGOs—pressure groups—tried to advance their cause by cultivating close relations with the mainstream press, and/or publishing their own periodicals. But from the late 20th century onward, many NGOs started routinely producing their

Foundation Support for International Non-Profit News: Mapping the Funding Landscape
Humanitarian-journalism.net; University of East Anglia (2018), 11 pp.
"There are three main reasons for the limited amount of foundation support for international journalism: a) It rarely aligns directly with the strategic priorities of a foundation (and so has to compete either with all other forms of journalism, or with numerous other ways of achieving the specific

The State of Humanitarian Journalism
Humanitarian-journalism.net; University of East Anglia (2018), 36 pp.
"Very few international news organisations routinely cover humanitarian affairs. Only 12 news outlets reported on all four of the humanitarian events we analysed in 2016. Because of the high costs of producing regular, original journalism on humanitarian issues, commercial news organisations do not

Who's Reporting Africa Now? Non-Governmental Organizations, Journalists, and Multimedia
New York et al.: Peter Lang (2018), xiv, 280 pp.
"As news organizations cut correspondent posts and foreign bureaux, non-governmental organizations have begun to expand into news reporting. But why and how do journalists use the photographs, video, and audio that NGOs produce? What are the effects of this on the kinds of stories told about Africa?

Donor Power and the News: The Influence of Foundation Funding on International Public Service Journalism
International Journal of Press/Politics, volume 22, issue 2 (2017), pp. 163-184
"How does donor funding affect the independence, role perceptions, and ideology of the journalism it supports? We begin to answer this increasingly important but underresearched question with a year-long case study of the humanitarian news organisation IRIN as it transitioned from being funded by th

"These Grey Areas": How and Why Freelance Work Blurs INGOs and News Organizations
Journalism Studies, volume 17, issue 8 (2015), pp. 989-1009
"International non-governmental organizations (INGOs) are known to employ freelancers to produce multimedia and to pitch it for them to mainstream news outlets. So it seems odd that research about the blurring of news organizations and INGOs has been largely focused upon the practices of full-time s
