About

Laura Glitsos is a media scholar whose research sits at the intersection of journalism studies, digital culture, and the sociology of the body. Her most-cited work, "What Journalism Feels Like: Considering the Body of the Journalist" (2024), makes a vital contribution by centering the physical, emotional, and sensory experience of news work in an era of increasing automation and generative AI. Glitsos argues that the embodied nature of journalism—the personal attachments, physical labor, and felt realities of reporters—is not a trivial detail but a fundamental aspect of the profession that must be understood as technology reshapes the newsroom. This work has already garnered 8 citations in its first year, signaling its timely impact on conversations about labor, technology, and the human dimensions of media production. Beyond this paper, Glitsos’s broader research explores how digital platforms and emerging technologies reconfigure both the practice of journalism and the lived experiences of those who produce it. Her scholarship bridges critical media theory with empirical attention to the body, offering a fresh lens for students and researchers grappling with what it means to be a journalist in an increasingly automated world.
