How I am spending my early Friday evening?

Well I am just honoured and thrilled to give a talk on AI, media and democracy at the #Annenberg #ElihuKatz colloquium. Will be introduced by Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a hero from my graduate school time and forever since. Her books, ‘her’ Annenberg election data, her wisdom, her generosity, her mentorship 🎈
