Summary: The Center for Media Engagement conducts research on journalism, media ethics, and science communication to develop strategies for more effective engagement with the public. The Center’s signature approach is one of “connective democracy,” which "unites newsrooms, scholars, platforms, and public policy entities in a methodical approach toward bridging gaps in our society." Their research has covered content moderation, building trust in news organizations, mitigating polarization, the ethics of deepfakes, and clickbait, among other topics.
