I’m excited to have been involved in a research project with computational social scientists at Microsoft Research and the University of Pennsylvania. David Rothschild, Elliot Pickens, Jenny Wang, Duncan Watts and I studied media bias in the run-up to the 2022 midterm elections. Our resulting paper, “Warped Font Pages,” was published today in the Columbia Journalism Review.

Please read the research paper and let me know your thoughts.
