Diversity in British, Swedish, and German Newsrooms: Problem Awareness, Measures, and Achievements
2020
A core tenet of journalism is to contribute toward a functioning and healthy public sphere by ensuring transparency over issues and perspectives from different segments of society.

Moreover, research on strategic and political communication, news bias and even fake news can be linked to the study of CT.
