Research Description
My dissertation is about how autocrats use an information-based and responsive media strategy to impress the public. Scholars in authoritarian politics have primarily forgotten that the news media as a tool of persuasion for autocrats' political survival. Political communication scholars have been intrigued by autocrats’ crafty communication tactics to manipulate public opinion. My dissertation searches for an intersection between these two vibrant fields.
