Great trip to DC for #aejmc23 this week! So much fun that this was the only picture I took. Great seeing everyone. See you in another 5 years.
Great to see Boise State’s @arbiteronline win big at the Idaho Press Club award dinner tonight! Congrats! Well deserved for these hardworking student journalists!
Excited to announce that we took home several awards tonight at the @IdahoPressClub awards!
Most notably, 1st place in Publication General Excellence AND Website General Excellence in the student categories!
Nice to be included in this piece in @sciam by @lindy2350 on #newsliteracy and #medialiteracy. Great primer on the challenges we face trying to untangle how to fight disinformation and support engaged citizenship! scientificamerican.com/artic…

Looking forward to seeing what these sensible folks can do to reign in far-right extremism in our state.
We all know what strong communities look and feel like in Idaho. Let's get rid of the divide and conquer politicos that are being supported by outside extremists and their money.

A little something I wrote with Brian Stone for @IdahoCapitalSun on media literacy and misinformation. Hopefully this will fix everything. idahocapitalsun.com/2021/09/…
Glad to be part of this session at #AEJMC2021 presenting my latest on #newsliteracy with @maksl @tullyme @ekvraga & craft! Lots of great papers on how to deal with misinfo and ideology.
Kicking off Day ✌🏼 of #AEJMC21 with moderating @AEJMC_MCS’s high density paper session! I hope you’re able to come listen to these amazing scholars present their papers 🤩
#idleg budget is set with $2.5 million higher ed cut to “remove state support for social justice programming.” Still don't know what they think that means but it will give us a lot to talk about in my classes! idahopress.com/eyeonboise/ne…
Excellent reporting by @BetsyZRussell of @TheIdahoPress for understanding what's driving the fringe politics of #idleg. The "representational disconnect" shows why we need more democracy, not less. #idpol

I hope @GovernorLittle has the courage to veto HB 377 and other bills like it. It’s a solution in search of a problem and it violates conservative principles of local control. It’s politics of fear and we have real work to do. #idpol #idleg
Check out our latest pub on #newsliteracy, where we present our 5C framework for NL. Hope this is useful to educators and scholars working to fight #misinformation and improve #medialiteracy! @tullyme @ekvraga @maksl journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf…

It’s being framed like a battle for the soul of the country, but tonight’s election basically determines whether the federal government will be able to pass some extremely centrist legislation in coming years or barely function at all.
Glad to be part of this today! #election2020 #medialiteracy
.@SethDAshley from @BoiseStateComm, @charlesrhunt from @BoiseStateSPS, and @KirkSiegler from @NPR discuss "doomscrolling," coping w/ social media overuse, disinformation, voter intimidation, pandemic and #Election2020 unrest during today's @cityclubofboise webinar.

Always a pleasure to talk #newsliteracy and #civicengagement with @georgepren on @BoiseState Public Radio @KBSX915! So important for this election and beyond!

The biggest issue in #election2020 is going to be the number of rejected mail-in votes. Follow ballot instructions obsessively and help others do the same! Vote in person if you can!
