Biography
Sally Broughton Micova is an internationally recognised specialist in media and communications policy. Her work draws on fundamental rights, notions of harm, and normative understandings of the role of media and communication technologies in society, particularly in democracy and politics. She is also interested in wider questions about governance and regulatory design. Her most recent research has focused on European Union approaches to audiovisual media services and online platforms such as for video-sharing and social media. She maintains research interest in questions about media freedom and pluralism, platform power, and freedom of expression.
Sally joined UEA in September 2015 and currently teaches modules on media and cultural policy, political communication, and research methods. She is a member of UEA's Centre for Competition Policy (CCP). Prior to joining UEA she was an LSE Fellow in Media Governance and Policy and Deputy Director of the LSE Media Policy Project in the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where she completed her PhD in December 2013.
Before entering academia in 2009 she spent more than a decade in international organisations running media related projects in Southeast Europe, including five years spent as Head of Media Development for the OSCE Mission to Skopje leading projects to facilitate the approximation of domestic legislation to European norms, develop the capacity of national regulators, and reform the public broadcaster. She continues to serve as an occasional expert for the EU and the Council of Europe (CoE), as well for regulatory authorities in various countries.
She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, an Academic Co-Director at the Centre for European Regulation (CERRE) in Brussels, and Chair of the Communications Law and Policy Section of the European Communications Research and Education Association.
