Technology has disrupted almost everything in the past two decades. It changed lifestyles and ways we communicate, travel and learn. At the same time, it totally changed the rules of game in journalism: it destroyed business models and arrangements, but also gave journalists unlimited space to make their work public.
When it comes to research, the guiding principle of the Media and Journalism Research Center in analyzing technology is to avoid the technological deterministic approach. The work focuses on the study of those areas in media and journalism most affected by digital technologies and on the ensuing policy implications. In the Media Influence Matrix project launched in spring 2018, Technology is one of the big three chapters along with Government and Funding. It is in this project where we aim to identify the web of links between technology actors, government players and funders.

Invest in independent media research and join a community of practice.
MJRC takes no government money — so the questions we chase are set by the field, not by a funder. A contribution keeps our research and global analysis independent, and buys you a seat closer to the work: early access to new findings, invitations to small-group briefings, a place in our Supporters Circle, and the option to be listed on our Supporters Page.
