Welcome to my website!

I am an associate professor of political science and mass communication at Louisiana State University. I am jointly appointed in the Department of Political Science and the Manship School of Mass Communication. 

My general area is American Politics, but the main focus of my research explores the intersection of news media and politics. In particular, I address questions relating to the institutional and contextual factors that influence news media coverage of campaigns, candidates, and politically relevant groups and events.
