Twenty-seven-year-old researcher, lecturer and journalist Jennifer Jones has a fluid but pared-down working approach. She openly conducts her work as a researcher and lecturer through her personal website, using her blog and Twitter, on which she has 3,000 followers.

Her inspiration comes from media activists and groups like Occupy, who use the free resources of the net to group like-minded people for action and discourse.
