Expertise

More specifically, my research revolves around the three interrelated topics of (1) media trust, credibility, and bias; (2) news exposure and engagement; and (3) social networks, discussion, and expression

Research Areas: Political communication, news audiences, media technologies, international and comparative communication

I study news and public opinion, with a particular interest in the institutions, cultural norms, and digital platforms that shape how people encounter news about politics and science and form or express their opinions.
