Welcome to the team, Heesoo Jang! We’re thrilled to have you join UMass Journalism.

Dream job come true!🌟 Thank you for the warm welcome UMass Journalism♥️ I'm excited to be part of this wonderful community.

I'll continue researching the transnational harms of digital platforms and AI in journalism and public relations, bringing my research to classrooms!📚

Thank you for speaking to the UMass Amherst Russian Politics class, Zhanna Nemtsova! I can’t imagine what a difficult day the anniversary of your father’s assassination was, but we’re grateful for your time, your activism and your sharing of his life + work on that important day.

My department UMass Journalism is hiring a full-time lecturer in Public Relations. We have excellent coworkers, a strong union and a really collaborative campus environment. Here's more info: careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-us/…

Another amazing title pun and great presentation from Kelsey Whipple! Interesting work on podcasters and ethics
AEJMC Media Ethics Division UMass Journalism

Very cool AEJMC Media Ethics Division research from Kyser Lough, Ph.D. and honor students examining the demographics of feature photography subjects and photographers #AEJMC23

I have loved working with the fantastic Meg Heckman on our research analyzing election news coverage of our home state governor Maura Healey. #AEJMC23

I had a great time reading and thinking about these five wonderful papers.

I would like to thank my Uber driver, who just absolutely BLASTED Night Ranger’s “Sister Christian,” for helping to decrease some of my #AEJMC23 conference stress in the most unexpected way.

Sad to miss #AEJMC23 this year, especially after having lived in DC until a hot second ago, but:
Kelsey Whipple will be in town to present our paper on Nextdoor as part of a Community Journalism panel chaired by Joy Jenkins. Panel is on Wed, Aug. 9 at 6pm - more info below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Happy to be back in D.C. for #AEJMC23 ! My Tuesday panel discussion has the provoking: “Research Panel Session” headline on the app but we will actually be discussing the controversial issues surrounding “Sportswashing.” Please join us!

Kathleen is a titan and gem of a person. This is just a first of what I fear will be horrific consequences of the latest Texas legislative session.
😡🤬

Little free libraries that look exactly like the houses they belong to give me the greatest, most unexpected joy.

What a powerhouse panel on Alternative News Media. Fantastic work, fantastic scholars and a fantastic discussion. #ICA23 Journalism Studies / ICA International Communication Association

A look at some of the memorable quotes in Kelsey Whipple’s fantastic presentation of “Alternative to What? How U.S. Alt-Weekly Journalists Perceive Their Outlets’ Cultural and Journalistic Authority and Cultural Relevance.” #ICA23

Incredible turnout for Martin Johannes Riedl’s discussion of misinformation sharing on WhatsApp at #ICA23 as part of the Monday morning PolComm panel
