Affiliated Fellow
Lisa Lynch is Associate Professor in the Department of Journalism at Concordia University, past fellow at Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy, and an Affiliate at Data and Society.
Her research is situated at the intersection between culture, technology, and political change, focusing on topics including new media, information access, global internet governance issues, and human rights. Her academic writing has appeared in journals including American Literature, Radical History Review, and Journalism Practice, and her research has been written about in publications ranging from Kill Screen to Al Jazeera.
Some of her more prominent research has focused on the growth of leaking platforms and their use by journalists. Current projects include exploring differences in the media response to European ‘Right To Be Forgotten’ legislation, and also comparing public-facing media representations of net neutrality with how the news industry has responded to that issue through lobbying efforts and conversations within professional circles.
