Artistic Journalism | Supervisors: Mark Deuze, Johana Kotisova | 19 March 2026
Event details of PhD Defense: Stijn Postema
Date
19 March 2026

The dissertation Artistic Journalism explores artistic journalism as an emergent practice situated at the intersection of journalism and the arts. Stijn Postema approached the field through a combination of ethnographic inquiry, grounded theory methodology, and case studies of both organisations and individual. The work demonstrates that artistic journalism is not an isolated phenomenon, but a growing constellation of practices that reimagine the boundaries of journalism, while offering new ways of researching, understanding, feeling, and engaging with current affairs. The central questions guiding this exploration are: What is artistic journalism, and how do artist-journalists navigate the field of professional journalism?
