معرفی
Peter Jakobsson is an Associate Professor of Media and Communication studies at Uppsala University's Department of Informatics and Media. His research examines critical issues in contemporary media landscapes, with three primary focus areas: the formation of media trust during societal crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, the transformation of Nordic media welfare states under digital pressures, and representations of social class in television and media.
His major research projects include:
- Media Trust and Social Imaginaries (2022-2024): A longitudinal qualitative study analyzing how Swedish citizens conceptualize and develop trust in media through ethnographic interviews.
- Media During COVID-19 (2020): Investigation of misinformation dynamics and trust erosion during the pandemic using diary studies and interviews.
- Class on Television (2014-2017): Comparative analysis of social class representations in Swedish television across three decades.
Jakobsson's publications consistently explore themes of media distrust, welfare state transformations, and class representation through critical theoretical frameworks. His recent articles demonstrate:
- Persistent focus on conceptual foundations of media trust and distrust
- Critical examinations of Nordic media policy evolution
- Analyses of how media representations reinforce social hierarchies
- Interdisciplinary approaches combining sociology, political theory, and cultural studies
