Prof. Nadine Strauß

Ph.D. in Communication Science

I am an Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Strategic Communication and Media Management at the Department of Communication and Media Research at the University of Zurich. In my research, I will continue to study the role of communication and media for sustainable finance but will also put a stronger focus on the strategic communication of sustainable business models of organisations (both internal and external communication). Furthermore, my team and I will research new and innovative models of journalism and media, such as the online platform "Substack" and the role of journalists as brands.

Previously, I have completed my Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship at the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment (University of Oxford) and worked as a postdoc at the Media Innovation Lab of the Department of Communication at the University of Vienna.

In January 2018, I obtained my Ph.D., with the thesis "News media & the stock market: Assessing mutual relationships", from the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR), University of Amsterdam.

My research interests include: sustainable communication, financial communication, journalism studies, media management, and news use in the digital environment.
