Professor of Communication, University at Albany
An expert in political communication, Dr. Stromer-Galley studies the intersection of media, politics, and audience participation.
Politicians now post like influencers, share personal stories like content creators, and build the kind of one-sided intimacy usually reserved for celebrities and their fans. Dr. Jennifer Stromer-Galley, Dr. Matthew Hindman, and Dr. Kate Kenski debate whether voters are evaluating policy anymore, or just falling for the most relatable persona on their feed.
