His work also addresses cultural policy, media-democracy relationships, and critical public relations approaches.
Recent publications analyze Northern Ireland’s media ecosystem, cross-border broadcasting challenges, and digital transformation of public service media. His research trends reflect intersections between UN Sustainable Development Goals (education, reduced inequalities) and media policy.
