Expertise on Teaching, Digital Innovation and transformation

As Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Director of the Peace Journalism Lab, I specialize in media literacy, strategic communication, and digital transformation in journalism. My work focuses on building resilience against disinformation, advancing media and AI literacy, and fostering cross-border collaboration in media and education.

With over 60 international, European, and national research projects (total budget exceeding €8 million) under my coordination, I bring extensive experience in project design, implementation, and evaluation, linking academia, policy, and media sectors to strengthen institutional capacity, democratic dialogue, and civic engagement.

I can offer expertise in:

• Design and implementation of communication and public diplomacy strategies

• Development of media literacy and digital education frameworks

• Training programs for journalists and public officials on disinformation and crisis communication

• Research and policy advice on media systems, democracy, and hybrid threats

My contribution aims to bridge research, practice, and policy—developing sustainable, evidence-based solutions that empower institutions, journalists, and citizens in the digital era.
