About me
Hi, I’m Marius Dragomir, I’m the director of the Media and Journalism Research Center, a global think tank focused on the study of media, journalism, politics and technology. Here I conduct several projects that I began during my time as director of the Center for Media, Data and Society (CMDS), a research center in Budapest.
I have been a professor at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna where I teach journalism and research design courses as well as practical classes on advocacy and policy engagement. Before, I managed the global research and policy portfolio of the Program on Independent Journalism (PIJ), formerly the Network Media Program (NMP), of the Open Society Foundations (OSF) in London.
