Markov Čedomir
Čedomir Markov is a Research Fellow and Deputy Director at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade. He is a member of the Laboratory for Active Citizenship and Democratic Innovations and the Laboratory for Digital Society. His research focuses on the relationship between media and audiences in hybrid political and media environments, with particular attention to media (dis)trust and hostility toward journalists. His work connects media studies with democratic innovations, especially through participatory and deliberative formats such as citizens’ assemblies, examining their potential to strengthen public dialogue and media accountability. He has published works in journals such as Journalism, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Journalism Practice, and Media & Communication. As part of the Horizon Europe project “Nets4Dem: Network of Networks for Democracy” (2023–2026), he coordinated the team leading the work package “Connecting the Scattered Knowledge on Democratic Innovations.”
