Nicole Dahmen

Co-Founder and Research Director

Nicole is a professor at the University of Oregon Clark Honors College and the School of Journalism and Communication. She’s earned a national and international reputation for her scholarship and expertise in visual journalism, ethics, and contextual reporting. In sum, her research seeks to advance public-interest journalism—reporting that holds the powerful accountable, elevates underrepresented voices, and makes a positive impact in society. She is co-editor (with Karen McIntyre Hopkinson) of Reporting Beyond the Problem: From Civic Journalism to Solutions Journalism (Peter Lang, 2021), an in-depth examination of socially-responsible news reporting practices. In 2021, Nicole received the 2021 Scripps Howard Teacher of the Year Award, a national honor. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
