David Beavers

PhD student @Harvard, studying political communication. Former journalist @POLITICO. Sometimes funny. Rarely clever. Probably not worth a follow.

[David Beavers @DavidABeavers]

Personal news, as the kids say: Yesterday was my last day at POLITICO. Starting this fall, I'll be pursuing my PhD in political science @Harvard. Will miss the great folks @politico but excited for a new adventure!

[David Beavers @DavidABeavers]

On a more personal note, this is the first project I started in grad school, 5 years and 73 days ago (but who's counting). Patience truly is a virtue.

New article alert from me and @Jenniferhochsc2

We examine the conditions under which national media attention and local experience with COVID-19 jointly correct misperceptions about the pandemic

@DavidABeavers studies #AmericanPolitics. His research examines factors shaping Americans' perceptions of the media, news consumption habits, and information processing. His dissertation examines the causes and consequences of Americans' declining trust in the media.

Getting real tired of these spam political texts. Does everyone’s phone look like this?

Is there any recourse?

[Grant Hermes @GrantHermes]

We’re back after some tech issues yesterday! Thanks to @DavidABeavers for coming in the pod and talking all about misinfo and what the media can do to push back!

I'm excited to share my new article in @journstudies with Michael Koliska and Erin Moroney is out! In this conceptual paper, we argue for research on trust in media to be broadened to foreground relational work between journalists and their audiences

@rachelreh No this is just the type of unhinged content my blue check mark had been keeping me from tweeting
