About Åsa Kroon

Åsa Kroon is Professor of Media & Communication Studies at Örebro University. Her research interests have included the communicative development of media debates, the role and function of the interview in news journalism, the portrayal of male and female politicians in the media, and the development of new forms of audience address as broadcasting goes from traditional TV to producing content on the webb. Here, the sports genre has proven to be of particular interest as a frontrunner for new forms of audience address on the web.

Current research

Her latest research interests are equally varied and include gambling advertisements and how these are multimodally designed to attract different kinds of audiences, and how slow TV formats such as The Great Moose Migration on Swedish Television are constructed. She is currently focusing on a wide array of questions, for example, how the semla pastry is used to "design" bakery windows (!), how women and men who are 65 and over date on TV, and how disability is depicted in TV crime.

Teaching

Åsa teaches mostly at the candidate and master's level, work-shopping, supervising and examining in relation to various assignments big or small.
