  • Hi! I'm Jay Jay (@jennifermjones on twitter - and I know, a blatant instagram-tastic internet selfie klaxon, sorry!) Welcome to my website. I'm a part-academic/part-digital media person based in Glasgow who specialises (in both research & practice) in social media for social good, community and citizen journalism, events and culture and media literacies.
