3. Journalism and Political Communication Research Cluster

Members:  Dr. Nancy Xiuzhi Liu, Dr. Jing Meng, Dr. Andrew White, Dr. Shixin Ivy Zhang, and PhD candidate Troy Chen

This research group addresses two broad themes: international journalism studies and political communication.  We aim to study the interplay and relationship between media and society, media and nation/state, as well as the public participation and empowerment in the democratic political process.  Study focuses include but not limited to the production, content, consumption and effect of digital and social media, business models of digital media, media and mediatization of wars/conflicts/crises,  trauma and post-trauma anxiety disorders,  and news translation.
