Turo Uskali is another scholar here at Stanford who is doing some truly interesting research on innovation, and I therefore decided to do a mini-interview with Turo to ask him to share his innovation research in the making:
Tell me about your research project?
My current research project, which has just started, focus on innovation journalism. This work can be divided at least into two different themes or sections.
1) History of innovation journalism in comparative perspective. The objective here is to draw from existing, lively work on evolution of innovation journalism (business, technology, science journalism) in many parts of North America and Europe to identify relevant insights about theinterface of business, economy, technology, science and media.
2) Journalism as organized work. The social organization of journalism as work and occupation, relevant to how issues get ‘covered’ The objective here is to focus on the issues how journalism work (and careers) are embedded in complex organizations and other career paths, and how this affects journalistic coverage of innovation processes and ecosystems.
What are the primary findings?
It is too early to tell about the primary findings, but I hope that afterwards it is possible to understand better the evolution of innovation journalism, and also define what is good innovation journalism.
Where can I find more information about your research?
You can find more information about innovation journalism from our web site: www.innovationjournalism.org.
