🏠 Welcome to my digital space
I am a professor of media and digital sociology at the Université catholique de Louvain, where I direct the Media and Journalism Research Observatory (ORM).
My research examines how information circulates in the public sphere. My current focus areas are disinformation, media coverage of environmental and health crises, trust in science and in news media, and the digital transition of the local press.
This site is where I share resources and texts related to my teaching and research. It also hosts a notebook in which I publish short reflections on the ongoing digital transition.
Latest posts in the notebook

- AI and the dispersion of expertise
