About

Natalia Avdonina’s research centers on the evolution of professional identity in journalism, with a particular focus on how liberal education methods can equip students to thrive amid the robotization and automation of media. Her most-cited work, “Development of Professional Identity in Journalism Students Using Liberal Education Methods” (2020, 2 citations), argues that modern journalists must transcend traditional roles to become authors and editors capable of complex, creative, and collaborative tasks. Avdonina’s key contribution lies in redefining journalistic competencies for the digital age, emphasizing the primacy of authorship and editorial judgment over routine production. While her citation count is modest, her work addresses a critical gap in journalism education, offering a pedagogical framework that prepares students for an industry increasingly shaped by AI and automation. Avdonina’s research is particularly notable for its forward-looking perspective, challenging educators to prioritize liberal arts skills that foster critical thinking, creativity, and ethical decision-making. For students and researchers exploring the intersection of media, technology, and education, her work provides a timely blueprint for cultivating resilient, adaptable journalists who can lead rather than be displaced by technological change.
