Dr Chrisanthi Giotis

Lecturer, Journalism

School of Communication, Media and Journalism

College of Creative Arts, Design and Humanities

I am a journalism academic passionate about practice-led research.
My interdisciplinary approach seeks to understand what makes great journalism that will help communities, and thus democracies, thrive. Using postcolonial and decolonial approaches I develop new reporting methods connecting marginalised communities with working journalists, so as to build trust and diversity of perspectives on both sides. I also use social geography to consider how journalists can better report complex, ongoing conflicts. I am working on a project trying to find 'glocal' frames of reportage which connect local realities with global discourses. 
I am very keen to take on honours, masters and PhD students, especially if your project involves practice-based research.
My first book Borderland: Decolonizing the words of war will be published by Oxford University Press in 2022.
Previously I worked in print and radio as a reporter, presenter and deputy editor in Sydney, Dubbo and London. I then ran my own entrepreneurial journalism website focusing on inspirational stories of social enterprise, while travelling from Cairo to Cape Town by public transport.
