I am a PhD candidate at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, working on the relationship between media, news, and organised business interests in the twentieth century. I use qualitative archive research and apply computational techniques to digitised media sources to study the news coverage and public relations of the Swiss Bankers Association (1910–1990). My PhD is part of the Impresso – Media Monitoring of the Past project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Luxembourg Research Fund. I also teach at EPFL, Lausanne, and am a Visiting Research Fellow at the Digital Humanities Research Hub (School of Advanced Study), in London UK.
