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. mailchi.mp/7478d13b32fc/trus…

As they say, some personal news! I just finished the last assignment of grad school, & I'm so looking forward to graduation on Friday! I'm even more thrilled to share that I'm moving to Montgomery, Alabama and joining @statesnewsroom's brand new bureau in the states. 1/🧵

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 🫠

.@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. t.uga.edu/83F

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 – at Charlottesville, VA

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!

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!! ou.edu/gaylord/news-events/a…
