Two weeks after IAMCR 2026, we are still reflecting on the inspiring conversations and collaborations that took place throughout the conference.
JRP participated in the conference, with presentations by Claudia Mellado and Einar Thorsen, and we were delighted to hold an informal JRP meeting to reconnect with colleagues, welcome new collaborators, exchange ideas, and discuss the next steps of our research network.
How does journalism work across different cultures and platforms? Since 2013, the JRP Project has been finding out. Today, 59 countries, 86 universities, and 126 scholars collaborate on one of the biggest global journalism studies ever. 🌍✨
Last week we held our JRP Project General Meeting at ICA 2026 in Cape Town.
It was a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues from around the world and discuss the project’s progress.
Many thanks to everyone who joined us for a productive conversation.
Journalism doesn't happen in isolation. The JRP Project connects researchers across continents, building a global network where countries interact, compare, and learn from each other — to understand how journalism truly performs around the world.
