He has written several articles and book chapters on the topic (see below). Dr. Andresen has presented his research at several international research conferences, such as IAMCR and ECREA over the years, as well as regional research conferences in the Western Balkans. Dr. Andresen is a Chief Investigator for Kosovo in the Worlds of Journalism Studies (WJS), the world’s largest ongoing journalism study (http://www.worldsofjournalism.org ). He was also a guest professor at the Department of Journalism and Communication at Addis Ababa University.
