Really excited and honored (😉) to have received an honorable mention for my dissertation “Immersive Journalism - The Future of the News?” from @icajsd.bsky.social at #ICA25 — alongside @meagandoll.bsky.social! 🥳

Big congratulations to Tali Aharoni for winning the award — very well deserved!

This is a pretty good idea - we should do this more often at conferences. Well, I guess not at #ica25 given that @icahdq.bsky.social conferences don’t have lunches ;-) - but you get the idea…

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the JoC Reception at #ICA25. It was wonderful seeing so many colleagues and friends in person. We are grateful to all of you whose contributions make the JoC possible! (Special thanks for photos from Jamil and Hanjie.)

Slowly worked through the jetlag, and looking back at an awesome #ica25! It was amazing to reconnect with our disconnection collective, organizing a workshop together at @icamobile.bsky.social precon, to present two of my recent studies at the main conference, and co-chair a session! What a ride 🤩

ICA25 = jetlag, joy, and journalism 💫

My first conference as Dr Kuai (!) 🥹and stepping in as the new Student & ECR rep for the Journalism Studies Division. Wanna join our PhD colloquium? DM me 💌

Huge thanks to everyone who came to our panels or said congrats — you made it so special 💜
