Super excited this article is finally out on Media, War & Conflict Here, my colleagues & I compared the cross cultural representation of death in Western and non-Western media during the Oct 7 attack and Israel's war on Gaza, by examining ~4,500 photos by six outlets (1)

When my profile of Bongino ran in 2021, he went berserk, acutely sensitive to the suggestion that he was motivated by profit. Less than a year after getting one of the most powerful jobs in washington, he is retreating to profit.

If you think Fox has remained steady ideologically read Echo Chamber and compare what they observed about Fox with how the network functions today. Fusionism is no longer orthodoxy.

How do congressional candidates tailor messages across platforms? Research by ERC affiliate @Ross_Dahlke and coauthors finds mobilization strategies vary by platform, not just party, but that only Republicans used alt-tech like Truth Social. Read here: doi.org/10.1177/205630…

Excited to share our new @AJPS_Editor paper! We analyze 5M+ Douyin videos from 18K+ regime-affiliated accounts and show how propaganda is now produced and spread through a decentralized model on social media. Four years of work with an incredible team: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…

How has digital media transformed authoritarian propaganda? In our new @AJPS_Editor paper with @YingdanL_kk, @jenjpan & @xuyiqing, we proposed a *decentralized propaganda* model and empirically demonstrate its existence on Douyin: doi.org/10.1111/ajps.1… 🧵

We found that more than 22.9% of Facebook pages were involved in coordination. Our approach can be adapted across contexts, platforms, and times, allowing researchers to build valid, testable, and human-interpretable models of platform manipulations.

Happy to see our paper out on @SciReports! We introduce a statistical method for detecting coordination and apply it to Facebook, using 11.2 million link posts shared by 16k pages that discussed US politics in 2021. nature.com/articles/s4159…
