I’m such a huge fan of Emily’s work.

🚨New piece in Political Communication @polcomm.bsky.social! Based on 67 in-depth interviews with partners in cross-cutting romantic relationships (e.g., Republicans w/ Democrats), I explore how partners negotiate news selection, consumption, and discussion amidst contentious political differences.
Negotiating News: How Cross-Cutting Romantic Partners Select, Consume, and Discuss News Together
As political partisanship intensifies, political similarity in romantic partnerships has become increasingly common. Still, there exist many for whom their romantic partnership is “cross-cutting,”...

The IAMCR PoliComm Research Section Conference in Mexico, inaugurated by IAMCR President Daya Thussu. The event was praised for its exceptional lineup of speakers, including Daniel C. Hallin, Silvio Waisbord, Natalia Aruguete, and many others, and for fostering deep, high-quality dialogue.

@brooklynmarie.bsky.social I like how people who weren't in meeting rooms at digital agencies who worked with policomm clients back in the 2010s are so cocksure about all that
"gamergate was the start of the reactionary takeover of the GOP" -- false, doesn't consider linearity of time, lame

"gamergate was an important training ground for a particular type of reactionary online coordination and harassment that was thereafter exploited by the GOP" -- true, cool, smart
Seeing actual full grown adults talk about a bunch of (very bad and nasty) youtuber bullshit in the 2010s as the starting point of the more openly rightward lurch of the GOP is genuinely embarrassing.

You could even point to the tea party to be less wrong.

Political science largely ignored late night until policomm scholars could make the case for the Daily Show, an appropriately tasteful and “intelligent” example.

The #policomm #Lit_Review deals with content analyses and media effects studies about #immigration into #Europe & the #EU, about inner-European #migration (e.g., #roma), & first findings from the so-called #refugee #crisis. Also #agendasetting, #framing, & #comparative findings

lmaooo, as a policomm grad i do often wonder how y'all can possibly cover some of this stuff in class and whew i bet it'll be a doozy of a discussion

Yeah, it seems me, more of a humble policomm messaging guy, that maybe there’s an expansion in categorization?

Also, where would you slot in the former lawmakers who take on some K Street role? I guess it’s a similar point: someone clearly thinks there’s some sort of efficacy to this.

If anyone wants a copy of my new book hit me up at NCA (Nov 15-19) and I give you a code for 30% off and free shipping. Yet another reason why working with David Congdon and Kansas Press is great.

Social identity theory explains A LOT, but we need some policomm/political scientists and some social psychology and sociology experts to collaborate on when, and how, “We’re out to screw The Other Guy,” became a winning ticket.

Seeing hot takes about how the vigilante shooter was ideologically inconsistent... But, does that perpetuate a world where where we expect someone's position to be 'logically consistent' with expected positions?
IMO expecting complexity might reframe our view of #politics in #polisci and #policomm

This is great work. Has one in the #policomm literature run down the affordances that text messaging provides that make it such a powerful medium for political organizing? As someone working with SMS surveys for the last couple of years, I have...

Among other things, this literature review takes a look at which countries have been researched when studying migration media content and migration media effects (might also be interesting to @JResearchNews) #PoliComm
