Research from prof @wojdynski, director of @DMAClab, and @cfnorsworthy shows that journalistic transparency elements effectively earn user attention and significantly strengthen news credibility and trust .

Huge congratulations to lab member Brittany Shivers for successfully defending her master’s thesis today!!!

She will begin the PhD program here at @UGAGrady @ugagradygrad in August.

Check out some of our latest research here, in partnership with @TrustingNews. Thanks also to @GradyDeanUGA for supporting our collaboration from the beginning!

Transparency around your reporting process is ALWAYS worthwhile.

But new research from @DMAClab shows it's most effective when it's woven into the story itself. https://t.co/kJRywJMHTS

Very excited to be presenting podcast research at this year’s #ICA23 #ICApodcon23 in Toronto! Repping @DMAClab and @UGAGrady so you know I had to scope out Bulldog Coffee off Church St before this…

Season two premiere, and my debut as host of The Athens Frontline! Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

I do apologize in advance for my raspy voice 👀 I'll be sure to take my own advice and drink a lot more water 🫠

Awesome (sniff) profile on our graduating (sniff) undergrad research associate and 4-year DMACer, Charan Ramachandran!

[UGA Grady College @UGAGrady]

.@charanr0121, a graduating EMST/computer science dual major, reflects on his four years as a research assoc. in the @DMAClab.

"As time went by, he became an indispensable team player and helped with things we couldn’t do otherwise,” said @wojdynski.

Congratulations to everyone who submitted an abstract, paper, or panel to #ica22! Whether you got accepted or not, just getting work ready and putting ink to paper is a victory in a soul-sucking awful year. I am proud of all of you! @icahdq @_commlawpolicy

[DMAC Lab @DMAClab]

Hearty congrats to everyone on their #ica22 acceptances, and empathy with authors on the papers that were not accepted.

The DMAC Lab had a couple of papers in each camp this go-round, and we're proud of all our members for their awesome work on these four projects!

[Jo(sephine) Lukito @JosephineLukito]

Writing your final papers? 🥲 Not sure what to do with it after?
Consider sending it to @AEJMC Midwinter (especially @AEJMC_PolComm *nudge nudge*). 600-800 word abstracts are due December 15!!
