Sílvia Majó-Vázquez is a communication researcher and Research Fellow at Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, University of Oxford. Her research areas include news audience behaviour, digital news structure and the role of new and legacy media in the online news domain.
She studies how digital technologies are reconfiguring the news media ecology, borrowing tools from network science and using digital trace data. Currently, she is focused on assessing patterns of online news consumption at a comparative level by leveraging Facebook and Twitter data from the French, UK and German elections in 2017 and the India elections in 2019.
Jointly with other colleagues, she is advancing the audience research field by proposing new methodological approaches to the study of new audience navigation patterns based on developments from network science (see Mukerjee, Majó-Vázquez, & González-Bailón, 2018 and Majo-Vazquez, Nielsen, Gonzalez-Bailon, 2018). Her work has been published in Journal of Computer Mediated Communication and Journal of Communication among others.
