Ideas take long to hatch before coming to fruition and probably become journal articles. This collection brings together essays, research notes, and commentary on artificial intelligence, communication, journalism, governance, and society. Some pieces expand on published research, while others explore questions as they coagulate in my head in response to exposure to literature.

Why I Write

Research papers answer specific questions, but writing creates space to ask new ones.
