Miriam Brems is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Media and Journalism Studies at Aarhus University. She received her PhD in Media and Journalism Studies from the same institution. Her research focuses on the dynamics between media, politics, and society, particularly the democratic impacts of using new types of news media. In her PhD dissertation, she investigated the use of alternative media in Denmark, analyzing people's motivations for seeking alternative news and the relationship between alternative news consumption, trust in traditional media, political trust, populist attitudes, and party choice. Currently, she is involved in a project examining how influencers affect their followers' political attitudes and democratic participation, particularly how these opinion leaders characterize themselves and the information sources they trust. Brems applies a mixed-methods approach to her work, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research techniques such as surveys, content analysis, and interviews. Additionally, she has taught courses in journalism and digital communication and has been a part of various editorial teams for academic journals.
