Media appearances

I was recently featured in a number of media outlets.

During the European Basketball Championship for Men hosted by Slovenia, I was interviewed by the Finance newspaper to speak about the impact of the competition for the Slovenian economy.  The interview was published on the newspaper website and garnered some positive comments; it can be found here but unfortunately it is only accessible to subscribers.  Statements published in this interview were also picked up and quoted by TV Slovenija.

The Slovenian public radio broadcaster, Val 202, interviewed me to speak about a survey I am conducting with Renata Slabe-Erker from the Institute of Economic Research in Ljubljana.  The topic of the interview was the attitude of sports fans during competitions such as the EuroBasket.  The interview can be heard here.

National interest landed me international attention as WSU News wrote an extensive profile about me and my work.  Although I think being referred to as a Sports Superstar is an overstatement, I am very happy to be noticed by the wider community at my new employer!

Very recently, I was also interviewed by WikiNews.  The interview revolved around the impending Paralympic Games and US media’s attitudes about them.  The interview can be read here.  An Ukrainian version of the interview is also available!

I thank the friends and colleagues who helped me land such fantastic opportunities to showcase my work in the national and international media.  This motivates me to focus even more on research to be able to present it to the broader public in the future, too!
