Mapping discourses of deception and politics in digital media
Danish version available at: www.johanfarkas.dk

My name is Johan Farkas and I am a PhD Fellow at Malmö University in Media and Communication Studies.

My research explores societal questions of disguised propaganda, ‘fake news’, political struggles and civic engagement, specifically in connection to digital media. I have published on these topics in international journals such as New Media & Society, Critical Discourse Studies, and Javnost – The Public as well as in book anthologies (see publications).

I am currently working on several research projects connected to new media and societal perceptions of facts and truths. I am furthermore the Chair of YECREA (Young Scholars Network of the European Communication Research and Education Association), a frequent presenter at international conferences, and commentator in Danish and international media.
