Current research area: media innovations, creative industries in Poland, new media enterprises, cultural and innovation policy, mediatization of culture

2010-2011 (postdoctoral project)
I conducted research in the filed of media convergence. The aim of my postdoc research project was to answer the most essential research question: How the intersection of media and public space, evolving in time, transforms the environment of the human life? The analysis was supplemented by the responses to two additional questions. What form and content do hybrid media environments have? What patterns of media use, or rather patterns of life with the media and in the media are designed by the new media constellations?
Integrated research instrumentation was used in the project: case studies on media and space convergence with the use of observation, participant observation and discursive analysis of the media content based on the collected written materials, photographs and films.

2007-2010 (doctoral project)
My principal research interests during PhD studies lay in the field of new media and technology, especially the media convergence (technological, economical, social and cultural aspects). I investigated specific elements of this process in Polish media environment for my dissertation. I used several methods: case studies based on discursive content analysis and graphs analysis; and interviews. My research concerned on convergence strategies implemented by Polish media corporation ITI Group and converging media users. Thesis was interdisciplinary and derived from media studies (media ecology, cultural studies, political economy, creative industries studies), sociology (network analysis) and integrated marketing.
