School of Communication Director Kelly Garret was featured on the Now at Ohio State podcast. The episode, How Our Presidential Elections Have Changed, explores how societal shifts, including growing voter distrust, media influence and disinformation, have transformed U.S. presidential elections and discusses ways to combat disinformation and increase voter turnout.

Garrett explains some of his research on how media consumption and digital communication platforms influence individuals’ political attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, including misinformation, social media and selective exposure.
