New #rstats 📦: mediacloud2 (happy about name recommendations). Since the exitsting R packages were stale and I needed data, I wrote a new package. MediaCloud is an amazing resource for getting news media data, especially if you rehydrate the articles (e.g., through paperboy).

Social media discourse is driven by false #polarization We find that: 1) ideologues post opinions more than moderates 2) extreme attitudes are posted more than moderate one 3) This replicates in 40 countries 4) Opinions that users post are more hostile than the beliefs they keep to themselves

I sit at a desk in a professional radio studio, facing slightly toward the camera with my hands clasped in front of me. I am wearing a blue sweater over a white button-down shirt. A studio microphone with a yellow FM4 windscreen is positioned close to my face on an adjustable boom arm. Behind me, a dark acoustic wall and a yellow panel create a high-contrast background typical of a modern broadcasting environment.
