The HAICu project is a large-scale Dutch research project by universities and cultural-heritage institutions into new forms of Artificial Intelligence-based access to multimodal Cultural-Heritage data, both contemporary and historical. Within HAICu, AI researchers, Digital Humanities researchers and a wide range of public and private partners will co-develop scientific solutions to unlock the true societal potential of the current heterogeneous digital heritage collections. It will provide easier, richer and more reliable data access to citizens, journalists, civic organisations, and various other stakeholders.

The PhD Project
This specific PhD position explores the development of investigative journalism and interpretive “deep” reporting in Dutch news media. It will study recurring critiques of journalism being too much focused on single news events while missing the broader story these are situated within. The focus of the project will be on the development of investigative and interpretive reporting on migration and discrimination that aims to make sense of news events by situating them in longitudinal developments and debates. It will analyse newspaper, television, radio and online reporting on sensitive political issues and debates on that develop over time using multimodal discourse analysis. It will analyse the interrelatedness of these various modalities and study reporting practices through interviews with journalists.
The project will be supervised by prof. Marcel Broersma and prof. Yael de Haan at the University of Groningen. This is an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of Journalism Studies and Digital Humanities.
