About

My earlier research focused on photography and cultural production, especially the stock photography and visual content industries. More recently I have published work on consumer culture and national conflict, the construction of civil and national solidarity in Israeli television coverage of suicide bombings, 'media witnessing' (theorizing the relationship between contemporary media and practices of witnessing), and the aesthetics of pre-digital television. I am currently working on a book-length project about the relationship between mass media and imagination.

I am Chair of the Popular Communication Division of the International Communication Association (ICA).
