Jongsoo Lim

Jongsoo Lim serves as Professor in the Department of Media and Communication at Sejong University since 2007 and holds concurrent leadership as Executive Manager of the Korean Society of Journalism and Communication Studies since 2018. His academic foundation spans media theory, digital technology adoption, and cross-disciplinary communication research.

His educational credentials include:

• Ph.D. from Hanyang University (2003)
• M.A. from Hanyang University (1999)
• B.S. from Hanyang University (1997)

Lim's research integrates Media Studies with Computer Science through investigations of algorithmic media systems, digital television evolution, and social media's societal impact. His work bridges cultural theory with data-driven analysis, particularly examining how platform architectures reshape information flows in health contexts and industrial transitions. Recent scholarship demonstrates methodological versatility across computational content analysis and cultural critique.

Publication trends reveal dual trajectories: (1) algorithmic media's role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution's cultural disruption, and (2) Twitter's function as health agenda-setter during disease outbreaks. These streams converge on platform governance and media form transformation, with notable impact evidenced by 51 Scopus citations for his flu/Twitter study.

Professional activities include leadership in the Korean Society of Journalism and Communication Studies and prior research fellowship at Korean Educational Broadcasting System (2004-2007). Current work focuses on digital television adoption barriers and algorithmic media's cultural implications.
