One of the research interests I never get bored with is, indeed, related to journalism cultures in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. I am curious as to how journalism has been changing and is changing in these countries, and viewing this development from a comparative perspective. The “liberal” or Anglo-American model of journalism has been predominantly used as the frame of reference when interpreting and assessing journalism cultures internationally. Within this framework, national peculiarities of CEE journalisms sometimes appear as deviations from the “right” standards. However, other interpretations, based on national histories and cultures are also possible, and I am intrigued to find out what they could be. When participating in a research project of the London School of Economics and Social Science (LSE) about the future of news agencies in Europe I noticed how little research exists on national news agencies in the CEE region. The formerly indispensable role of news agencies as the main providers of news for the media has been radically changed. How national news agencies have transformed and adapted their operations to today’s news ecosystem is an issue worth studying. Recently, I have also returned to the history of journalism, the favourite field of my early scholarly career. Now I am especially interested in how the three tails of devilry—the Communist Party, the censorship system (Glavlit) and the state security organ (KGB)—worked together in governing the media in Soviet Estonia. To make life even more hectic, I am also leading a project on how local newspapers in Finland could more effectively use social media platforms for engaging new readers.
