We use the new PtP dataset to compare cabinet members on background characteristics. Overall, politicians look pretty similar across genders. But women in the most prestigious positions conform closer to the typical politician than men, indicating that women must conform to make it to the top.

Happy to be back in Oslo and to join this great company!

Min frygt som underviser på universitetet er, at de studerende bruger LLMs med det ene formål at bestå opgaverne og derfor ikke tilegner sig de analytiske og faglige egenskaber, der kræves på arbejdsmarkedet og kun fås ved hårdt arbejde. De studerende tror, at de snyder os, men de snyder sig selv.

The more journalists rely on social media, the more right-wing they think their audience is - skewing how they understand the public and possibly shaping coverage in unintended ways. Read more in our new paper published in Journalism Studies: doi.org/10.1080/1461...
