To complete the PhD study programme, Lea Vindvad Hansen presents her PhD dissertation, giving a public lecture followed by a defence on 20 December 2021 at 13:00.

Title of the defence
"Reporting the results: An interdisciplinary multi-methods study of financial news"

Theme for the defence
"How do the three theoretical fields that make up the multi-disciplinarity of the thesis, i.e., corporate communication, journalism and accounting, contribute (concepts, theories, insights) to the understanding of the phenomenon of financial news, and how does the thesis with its four articles and findings, in return, contribute to each of the three fields? How can the findings of the thesis (the four articles) as a whole move the area of financial news reporting forward?"
