Biography

Brian Creech is an assistant professor of journalism in the School of Media and Communication at Temple University. He earned his PhD in mass communication from the University of Georgia Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication and specializes in digital journalism, mobile technologies, public discourse and social movements. His research attempts to bring insights from poststructuralist theory into the study of journalism, communication and technology. Brian’s current projects use the work of Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari and Bruno Latour to explore the production of public knowledge, looking at the ways in which technologies, political ontologies and journalistic practice render sensible the issues, events and phenomena that enter realms of public discourse and debate.
