Do you have something to write about THE FUTURE? There are still 24 hours left to submit to the Communication and the Future division at NCA!
Please! Join your fellow scholars in imagining the future of communication!

Are you a journalist writing about science and feeling burnt out? Or a scientist who regularly talks to the press? You're not alone! My coauthor and I explored burnout in these groups in our new Journalism Studies publication:

I rarely post anything, let alone work promotion, but I am particularly proud of the conceptual work that co-authors and I just published in Communication and Change. We discuss the implications of AI for Comm research and offer provocative directions:

Why should YOU submit to PLCD at AEJMC midwinter? For the friends you made along the way! This was my first conference as a grad student and I truly made professional friends I have kept in touch with as a faculty member. I HIGHLY encourage you to promote our call to students!
Hi you! Yes you? Do you publish about political communication and you're looking for a great regional conference to present your work at and get feedback? Well look further and consider submitting to the PLCD at AEJMC Midwinter in lovely Norman, OK!

Just had a cool research paper published in Communication and Sport about sport and political identities predict the ways that people perceive the political environment in the US. Some neat insights for how identities serve as guiding principles!

The School of Journalism is well represented at the @AEJMC conference in Philadelphia, PA!
Director Jessica Retis, @UArizonaSBS Associate Dean Jeannine E. Relly, Associate Professor Monica Chadha, and new Assistant Professor Josh Anderson are all presenting this week.
Great to see so many scholars at #AEJMC24 think deeply about how academics can support local journalists. I especially liked hearing @PR_Johnson 's comments about helping journalists better serve communities and how academics can interact with journalists from a place of humility
Many thanks to the SoJ for making me feel welcomed and @jtell27 for the great conversation!
The School of Journalism is excited to welcome two new professors to our faculty this fall semester. Please join us in welcoming assistant professors Zicheng Cheng and Josh Anderson!
Get to know more about Anderson and Cheng here: bit.ly/4dwofiC
This was a lot of work and I am so happy to see it come out! Many thanks to my coauthors who worked with me on this!
🚨NEW RESEARCH!
"The State of Science Reporting in Today’s Digital Media Landscape: A Survey of Journalists and Scientists Who Use SciLine’s Expert Matching Service" mediaengagement.org/research…
I'm excited to announce that I will be joining the University of Arizona this fall as an assistant professor of journalism!
I am very much looking forward to joining a crew of folks that do research that matters to their desert 🏜 community and the world outside
Really happy to help put this together!
A changing media ecosystem has resulted in the elimination of many science reporter positions. We interviewed scientists to learn more about their experiences with the media and find out about the biggest problems facing science communicators. bit.ly/CMEScientistsAndMedia
ALT Problems facing science communicators: Scientists view mis- and disinformation as being tied to social media and the politicization of science. Scientists view the spread of mis- and disinformation as a reason for declining trust in scientists among the public. Scientists view communicating with the public as rarely being materially incentivized or supported. While scientists’ interactions with journalists are mostly positive, there are concerns about journalists with anti-science agendas.
