Houston, we have lift-off

I’m happy to announce that the NewsTalk&Text research group has been formally approved by Ghent University. This means that NT&T is now an official research group of the Faculty of Arts at Ghent University. Yay! All we have to do now is publish A1 articles by the dozens, acquire research funding, teach seminars, train students, organize conferences, panel discussions and guest lectures, provide community service and keep the website up to date. And oh yes, I have to write a PhD thesis. I’d better get to it.
