She is involved in projects that examine the digital transition that journalism is currently going through. Thereby three key processes in journalism are central: production, content and effect.

These lines run parallel to essential aspects of journalism as a profession: the ethics of journalism and transparency in the digital media landscape.

She has published a number of articles on these subjects, as well as co-authoring various chapters in publications that contribute to the debate about media accountability – including in her capacity as member of the Dutch Press Council.
