Instagram for Political Campaigning, Agenda Setting, and the 2020 US Election

Dr. Terri Towner (oakland.edu/cas/archive-temp/featured-faculty-…), Professor of Political Science at Oakland University, discusses her research on political campaigning and information on Instagram. We also give first impressions from the last presidential debate between Trump and Biden, and break down some poll results about citizens' social media use during the coronavirus pandemic.
Here are the two studies we discuss in the episode:
