[Air-L] Research process seminar. Ethnography of Algorithms. 17th Feb at 2pm on Zoom.

[Dan Jackson]

Join us on Tuesday 17th February at 2-3pm (UK time) for the next Research Process Seminar. Hosted by the Media School at Bournemouth University — and open to all.

*Ethnography of Algorithms*
Based on the research carried out for her new book “Just for You” and ethnographies inside Danish news organisations (Nordicom, Spring 2026) Professor Møller Hartley will reflect on the challenges of studying the technical infrastructures and algorithms when dispersed across sites, clouds, servers and people, even departments inside the news organization. In the talk she will further discuss how we can study how these technologies and infrastructures like LLMs or machine learning models transform the practices and values of journalism, even when ‘its just code’ and even if no journalists are involved in the building/design of the algorithms.

*About the speaker*
Dr. Jannie Møller Hartley is professor of Journalism and Media Use, at the Department of Communication and Arts, Roskilde University, Denmark. She has worked on the datafication of news production and news use with a special focus on the impact of personalization algorithms and news recommender systems in the news industries, is the PI of the DRC funded project AUTOPUBLICS, Head of the Media and Democracy Section and PI of the Data and AI Centre at RUC.
