I’m Jennifer Rauch, an educator, scholar and author of Slow Media: Why Slow Means Satisfying, Sustainable & Smart (Oxford University Press), which won a Silver Nautilus Book Award and was named a finalist for the Marshall McLuhan Book Award.
I study, speak and write about alternative journalism, news audiences, media literacy, and the cultural impacts of new technologies. In particular, I am an authority on public trust in journalism and deliberate abstention from media use.
My work has appeared in scholarly journals like Communication, Culture & Critique and Media, Culture & Society as well as popular outlets such as the Huffington Post, Medium, Thrive Global, and Urban Audubon.
