Through his research, Arne Hintz tries to advance our understanding of media policy, citizen media, civil society, and datafication; the processes that generate change in these fields; and transnational dynamics and global contexts. He is particularly interested in questions of participation in both media production and policy development. Recent publications concern internet censorship and internet surveillance, policy challenges of a datafied era, new forms of media activism, and policy advocacy.

He co-chairs the JOMEC Research Group "Digital Media and Society" and its new "Data Justice Lab". He was Principal Investigator of the ESRC-funded project "Digital Citizenship and Surveillance Society: UK State-Media-Citizen Relations After the Snowden Leaks" (2014-16). Further, he is project manager of the international collaborative project ‘Mapping Global Media Policy’ which traces current policy processes worldwide and serves as a resource for policy activists. Previous collaborative research funded by European institutions include projects on media pluralism, digital radio, data retention and surveillance, young people and internet use, and media development.
