Another new and exciting publication out today, led by the incredible Brittany Shaughnessy. We adopt a repertoire approach to understand the relationship between individuals' media diets and their belief in political misperceptions, paying special attention to alternative media use

It’s me!

NEW RESEARCH: "That Is So Mainstream: The Impact of Hyper-Partisan Media Use and Right-, Left-Wing Alternative Media Repertoires on Consumers’ Belief in Political Misperceptions in the United States" by Brittany Shaughnessy, Myiah J. Hutchens and Eliana DuBosar.

HUGE congratulations to my academic sister 🤍

I appeared on NPR’s “The Florida Roundup” last week to discuss the use of language in political campaigns and the findings of our study in the Journal of Communication Management! wlrn.org/podcast/the-fl…

Brittany Shaughnessy, UFCJC doctoral student, is featured in “Discussing the Power of Language in the 2024 Presidential Election.” Shaughnessy commented on President Biden’s and former President Trump’s political discourse on the 2024 campaign trail. bit.ly/3QBGJ8r

Partisan identity threat is not directly associated with selective exposure (partisans seeking out congruent information), but it may be indirectly associated via enthusiasm in cross-sectional data, finds Eliana DuBosar Brittany Shaughnessy Myiah Hutchens doi.org/10.1080/152132…

Thrilled to share that our paper examining the relationship between disagreeable political discussion frequency and content moderation experiences has been accepted for presentation at AEJMC’s 2024 conference and received a second place top paper award from AEJMC Political Communication Division

🥈Congrats to Eliana DuBosar, Brittany Shaughnessy, Luna Pittet Gonzalez, and Myiah Hutchens on their second place faculty paper: "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Disagreeable Political Discussion Frequency and Content Moderation" #PLCD #AEJMC2024 #PolComm

Janet Coats and I co-wrote a piece for the Poynter Institute on nonprofit news labels, finding that audiences do not note a difference between articles labeled as nonprofit or for-profit. We also discuss the crucial time for nonprofit newsrooms today. poynter.org/business-work/…

Happy to announce that I became a PhD candidate last week by successfully defending my dissertation proposal! Only the home stretch until I'm officially Dr. Brit! 🥳 A special shout out to my committee for coming together and supporting me.

Congratulations to Brittany Shaughnessy on successfully completing the qualifying exams process!👏 We're so incredibly proud of you Brittany! 🎉

Last week I served as a panelist for the Bob Graham Center's "Policy over Pizza" event for the Freshman Leadership Council. We discussed political discourse as it related to the 2024 U.S. election. It was a wonderful opportunity to speak with the country's newest voters!

🚨NEW PUB! In this ✨first-authored✨ publication at The Social Science Journal, myself, Eliana DuBosar, Myiah Hutchens & Luna Pittet Gonzalez find that using both left and right U.S. alternative media was associated with extremist attitudes. Read more: doi.org/10.1080/036233…

Far-left and far-right self-reported news exposure is correlated with extremist attitudes with populist attitudes not moderating this relationship, finds Brittany Shaughnessy Eliana DuBosar Myiah Hutchens doi.org/10.1080/036233…

Big news! Later this month, I’ll be starting as a Data Analyst II at the New Mexico Higher Education Department. My time at UF has been an incredible journey, and as my dissertation defense looms, I’m grateful for the skills I’ve learned. The leap to industry is possible!
