DR TJ THOMSON
Associate Professor TJ Thomson is an Affiliate of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society (ADM+S) from RMIT University.
He is a researcher on two ADM+S signature projects: Critical Capabilities for Inclusive AI and Generative Authenticity. He has led a range of work on generative AI and journalism, including international research on content, industry practices, and audience expectations.
In addition to being an associate professor of visual communication in RMIT University’s School of Media and Communication and an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow, TJ also co-leads the University wide News, Technology, and Society Network.
TJ’s research is united by its focus on visual communication. A majority of his research centres on the visual aspects of news and journalism and on the concerns and processes relevant to those who make, edit, and present visual news. He has broader interests in digital media, journalism studies, and visual culture and often focuses on under-represented identities, attributes, and environments in his research.
TJ is committed to not only studying visual communication phenomena but also working to increase the visibility, innovation, and quality of how research findings are presented, accessed, and understood.
