Georgia Tech Computational Journalism

One of my main lines of research while a Ph.D. candidate in Digital Media from Georgia Tech was around the intersection of Computer Science, Digital Media, and Journalism.

News Structures

My doctoral research focused on redefining the News Story in the Digital Medium by expanding the traditional Journalism theoretical frameworks. Specifically, I worked on the creation of novel structures to model news stories and their creation processes applying semantic web technologies.
