Welcome to my homepage!
I’m a Nordic media and journalism scholar, journalism and media educator, research communications professional, as well as an educational and research community developer, and this is my personal homepage.
Check out my newest English-language books:
- Reviewing culture online: Post-institutional cultural critique across platforms (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) examines reviewing cultural objects online by ordinary people
- Pedagogical opportunities of the review genre: Learning in cultures of evaluation (Routledge, 2024) inquiries into reviews and reviewing from a pedagogical perspective
- Reporting on artificial intelligence: A handbook for journalism educators (UNESCO, 2023) inquires into artificial intelligence as a societal subject of coverage and a tool that can be used for pedagogical and journalistic purposes (also available in six other languages)
You may also want to take a look at my faculty member page at the University of Gothenburg (Nordicom), follow me on X (@maaritjii) or Mastodon (@maaritjii@mastodon.social), Google Scholar, Academia.edu or NordMedia Network, or contact me via LinkedIn or Facebook. For my e-mail addresses, see the contact details.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you! Please note that there is a double-a twice (both in Maarit and Jaakkola) and a double-k (Jaakkola) in my name, which is of Finnish origin. My name is pronounced /ˈmɑːrɪt ˈjɑːkːolɑ/.
