Top SchoolValerie Hase is a communication and digital media scholar with eight years of interdisciplinary experience at the intersection of computational social science, NLP, and digital journalism. Currently a Professor of Digital Media and Communication in Austria after a postdoc at LMU Munich’s Computational Communication Science lab, she combines rigorous quantitative methods with qualitative expertise from market and media research. Her work bridges academic inquiry and applied research—ranging from crisis communication and trust in journalism to text-as-data analyses of large digital trace datasets.

She frequently consults on strategic media projects and has a long-standing freelance practice that keeps her close to industry questions and real-world data.
