Kelly Fincham

I’m the programme director for the BA Global Media at University of Galway and I also teach modules in digital literacy, innovation, data and media research.

My research agenda is focused on the ways in which social media have impacted journalism and I am particularly interested in the ways that bad-faith actors are weaponising journalism norms in a social and digital media context. I draw from Andrew Chadwick’s hybrid media theory in understanding how social media has created new ways that information can flow in a hybrid media environment.
