We are seeking a PhD candidate to investigate the financial challenges facing journalism and how journalistic organizations can combat these issues. The PhD project is embedded in the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (department of Communication Science) at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, University of Amsterdam.
Research FocusThe PhD project focuses on the financial challenges that journalism faces and how journalists and citizens deal with and understand issues related to the willingness to consume news. The central research question is: What are the main factors contributing to journalism's financial crisis, and what strategies may effectively safeguard journalism's vital position in the democratic society?
MethodologyThe PhD project will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining secondary data analysis, in-depth interviews, and a pre-registered vignette experiment. The candidate will investigate the determinants of citizens' willingness to pay for news, journalists' responses to the financial crisis, and the effectiveness of journalistic strategies to increase paid news consumption.
RequirementsThe candidate should have a strong affinity with the topic, excel in research methods, and enjoy working together in a team. A research master's degree in communication science or a related social science field is required. The candidate should have a firm basis in and ideally experience with research methods and data analysis, including statistical data analysis, in-depth interviewing, experimentation, and open science principles.
What We OfferThe University of Amsterdam offers a stimulating and dynamic work environment, with a variety of duties and ample scope for individual initiative and development. The PhD candidate will be part of a vibrant academic community and will have access to excellent research facilities and resources. The salary will be € 2.872 gross per month in the first year and will increase to € 3.670 in the final year, based on full-time employment and in keeping with the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities.
