My name is Inês Salvador, and I have a degree in Communication Sciences (2017-2020) and a Master's in Journalism (2020-2022) from the University of Beira Interior. I am studying for a PhD in Communication Sciences at UBI and have a scholarship. I am a researcher at LabCom, the Communication Sciences Research Unit at the University of Beira Interior. I am a member of the Media Study Working Group in this unit. In this context, I have been a member of various organising committees for scientific events (e.g. IV International Conference on Television and New Media; IV Jornadas Patologias e Disfunções da Democracia em Contexto Mediático) and I have presented multiple scientific papers at meetings in my field of study. I am the author of the master's thesis' O recurso a stereótipos relativos ao interior de Portugal nas telenovelas nacionais' and several scientific articles (in press) on the history of Portuguese telenovelas, narratives against telenovela viewers, telenovelas and the inclusion of people with disabilities, the use of stereotypes in fiction and gender representations in Portuguese telenovelas. I also co-founded and hosted the podcast 'Portugal Profundo' (01/2023-08/2024) and founded the' O Bandarra' (local media project - 01/2021-08/2022). I also have a curricular internship as a producer on Rádio Comercial's "Era o Que Faltava" programme, five participations in the "Repórteres em Construção" project and three radio features (created in the academic context).
