The Joint Academic Partnership is guided by the following key question: “What impact does the digital revolution have on communication for the common good (journalism), and strategic communication (public relations) as well as on business models in the media?”
From a journalistic perspective, new fields of research are emerging that are being addressed by doctoral projects on topics such as digital journalism and online journalism, data journalism, computational and algorithmic journalism, cross-border journalism, immersive journalism, media convergence or disinformation and propaganda research. By the same token, from a strategic communication point of view, there are manifold doctoral projects, such as on corporate communication or strategic political communication (e.g., crisis or risk communication), on digital stakeholder management, on corporate foresight and issues management or on social media communication. In each case, we can explore issues on media ethics and those of media management. Further aspects of the research field include artificial intelligence, semantic web, and social bots, for instance.

- Digital journalism
- Cross-border journalism
- Immersive journalism
- Economic journalism
- Crisis communication
- Media convergence
- Propaganda research

In Lehre und Forschung verbindet sie Interkulturelles Management mit Fragen der gesellschaftlichen Transformation. Im Zentrum stehen interkulturelle Kompetenz, Werte, Erwartungen und deren Einfluss auf Zusammenarbeit, Institutionen und Lernumgebungen, insbesondere in internationalen und hochdiversen Kontexten. Methodisch arbeitet sie interdisziplinär und kombiniert qualitative und quantitative Ansätze, um kulturelle Muster und Dynamiken in Organisationen, Bildung und öffentlicher Kommunikation präzise zu erfassen.
Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ihrer Arbeit liegt an der Schnittstelle von Kultur, Medien und Technologie. Dazu gehören Analysen politischer Kommunikation und öffentlicher Diskurse sowie aktuelle Forschungen zu Kultur und künstlicher Intelligenz, etwa im Hinblick auf Bias, Fairness und die Bedingungen verantwortungsvoller KI-Nutzung in internationalen Kontexten. Ihre Publikationstätigkeit spiegelt diese thematische Breite wider und reicht von Beiträgen in Sammelbänden und Konferenz Proceedings bis zu wissenschaftlichen Artikeln und Herausgebertätigkeiten.
