M-Passion
ed: Meet our Members
Assistant Professor
Department of Communications
George Mason University
"
I have spent over 10 years exploring ways to move media literacy education outside the classroom. I'm especially interested in creating and testing media literacy messages that can be placed where people consume news - for example, before online news videos or on social media websites. My latest project is with
Melissa Tully of the University of Iowa
. Together, we have been creating news media literacy messages in the form of short public service announcement style videos. Our research has suggested that these PSAs can be effective in limiting hostile media perceptions when political content is unbiased, but may also make congruent news content even more palatable to Republicans.
