Since 1 July, our new researcher-in-residence dr. Frank Harbers joined our Research Department to work on his project ‘Discerning Journalistic Styles. Exploring Automated Analysis of Journalism’s Modes of Expression’. He will share his experiences through regular blogposts and we’re happy to share his first below. If you would like to be our researcher-in-residence in 2017, please see the Call for Proposals which is currently open.
Lets get to work!
Two weeks ago I took the train in Groningen at 7.16 AM and arrived around 10 AM in The Hague to start my fellowship as researcher-in-residence. My first day mainly consisted of tasks of practical and organizational nature (login data, an access pass, printer codes, etc.). Martijn Kleppe gave me a tour of the building with all its corners and corridors. I hadn’t seen more than the general and special collections reading room, where I spent quite some time perusing the original historical newspaper material during my PhD research into the development of the press from the 19th century onwards.
