Rethinking Political Knowledge and Participation in the Social Media AgeLee challenges the traditional "virtuous circle" framework of media use and civic participation, proposing a "self-righteous circle" model. This new framework examines how social media news consumption can lead to a false sense of political knowledge and increased political engagement, often driven by selective exposure and reinforcement of existing beliefs.Russell Hansen, Doctoral Candidate in the Department of Communication at the University of WashingtonDo I Belong Here? Exploring Perceptions of Inclusion in Online Political DiscussionSocial media and online platforms provide spaces for political discussion, but these conversations are often seen as polarized and toxic. Hansen's study examines how and why people feel included or excluded in online political discussions where participation is open to all. Findings highlight that feeling recognized as a valuable contributor fosters inclusion, though participating in large or loosely moderated spaces often entails uncertainty and risk.<h3>About Korea University</h3>Established in 1905, Korea University is one of South Korea’s oldest and most prestigious private universities.
