The two-day workshop “Future Proofing the Public Sphere,” held on March 21-22, 2024, at QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus, successfully convened a diverse group of researchers dedicated to public sphere research. This event was co-organised by Dr. Katharina Esau from QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre and Dr. Adele Webb from the University of Canberra’s Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance.

In an insightful exploration of generative AI, DMRC HDR Phoebe Matich and former DMRC member Dr. T.J. Thomson have co-authored a compelling study that delves into the evolving dynamics of AI technologies in contemporary media practices.

Congratulations to QUT DMRC’s Chief Investigator Dr Aljosha Karim Schapals who has released a new publication alongside Dr Christian Pentzold from the University of Leipzig called, Media Compass: A Companion to International Media Landscapes, which will be officially released on August 6, 2024. This new publication gives an extensive and inclusive overview of media landscapes, combining country-specific summaries and cross-cutting examinations of the world’s geopolitical regions.

Join DMRC’s Dr Kim Osman, alongside QUT’s mid-career researchers making an impact to celebrate their achievements at the Women in Research Showcase on 14 May.
