Veronica Israel Turim

Veronica Israel Turim is a Doctoral student and Researcher in the Society, Technology, Religion and Media program at the Faculty of Communication and International Relations Blanquerna. She maintains an active research profile with an h-index of 22 and is involved in multiple significant research projects including AGORAS (2024-2025), Catholic Media Influencers (2024-2025), DIALOCAT (2023-2024), GenerAccions (2023), and STReaM: Society, Technology, Religion and Media (2022-2025).

Dr. Turim's research program centers on the critical intersection of digital media, religious discourse, and societal trends. Her work employs both quantitative big data analytics and qualitative methods to examine how social media platforms shape religious understanding, political engagement, and sustainability awareness. She has developed particular expertise in analyzing Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter dynamics within Spanish and Catalan contexts, with strong methodological skills in exploratory data analysis and social network mapping.

Her publication record reveals a clear trajectory examining misinformation patterns across different domains - from religious journalism to vaccine discourse to political communication. This thematic consistency demonstrates her commitment to understanding how information (and misinformation) flows through digital networks and impacts societal understanding. Her research has gained significant attention, with articles shared across multiple X (Twitter) accounts, Facebook pages, and referenced in Wikipedia.

Dr. Turim collaborates extensively within a robust research network led by M. Díez Bosch and A. Sabaté Gauxachs, working alongside colleagues including V. Laferrara and J.L. Micó Sanz. Her current projects focus on interfaith dialogue, media representation, gender perceptions, and Catholic media influencers, demonstrating both continuity with her established research interests and expansion into new applications of her methodological expertise.
