Trine Syvertsen is a Professor of Media Studies whose work critically examines online media, television, media policy, and media history. Her scholarship delves into audience responses to media, exploring themes of dislike, protest, and abstention. Syvertsen further investigates the broader societal implications of media technologies and their influence on our lives. Her research also addresses invasive media and digital detox, revealing her engagement with how technology shapes our behavior and society.
Against a backdrop of increasingly intrusive technologies, Trine Syvertsen explores the digital detox phenomenon and the politics of disconnection from invasive media. With a wealth of examples, the book demonstrates how self-regulation online is practiced and delves into how it has also become an expression of resistance in the 21st century.
