Craig T. Robertson is a Research Fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, University of Oxford. His work focuses on news credibility, fact-checking, and the interplay between audience epistemology and media consumption. Prior to Oxford, he studied at Michigan State University, where his doctoral research examined how epistemological beliefs influence perceptions of news credibility.
Education includes a Master of Communication Studies (2016), Bachelor of Laws (2013), and Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (2013) from the University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. His interdisciplinary background combines journalism, law, and political science.
Research interests include digital news ecosystems, polarization dynamics, and the societal impact of misinformation. Methodologically, he employs mixed approaches—surveys, interviews, content analysis, and experiments—to produce actionable insights for journalists and policymakers.
Key contributions include longitudinal analyses of global news trust trends, studies on echo chambers and filter bubbles, and reports on gender and racial representation in news leadership. His work frequently addresses practical challenges like news paywall strategies and the role of emerging platforms in journalism.
Leveraging the Reuters Institute’s global reach, Craig contributes to high-impact publications like the Digital News Report, which annually tracks shifts in media consumption across 40+ countries. His research emphasizes bridging academic rigor with real-world media challenges.
