Media freedom social network sites media coverage journalism practice journalistic standards ethics
One of my lines of research is media freedom and standards. I have developed several studies, published in journals such as Journalism Practice and shared at international conferences, which focus on the limitations that journalists have to exercise their work freely, especially in Spain. I am also directing a PhD dissertation about the verbal violence suffered by Spanish women journalists on Twitter.
