Background:

Anna Schorn studied Media Studies, General Rhetoric, and Psychology at the University of Tübingen before completing her PhD in Communication Science at the University of Zurich. Throughout her academic career, she has written, revised, and proofread scientific publications, student theses, and a wide range of academic texts.
Her research has focused primarily on media effects, sustainability communication, science communication, and strategic communication. Methodologically, she specializes in quantitative empirical social research, particularly experimental designs and survey-based studies.
As part of her teaching activities, she has conducted research seminars and taught a university course on data analysis using R. In addition, she has supervised more than twenty theses and numerous seminar papers. This experience has given her a deep understanding of common challenges in empirical research, such as weak argumentation, inconsistent use of literature, and imprecise presentation of results.
Thanks to her extensive publication and teaching experience, she has developed a strong sense for crafting clear, reader-oriented academic texts while maintaining the highest scientific standards.
