Right-wing digital advocacy groups are imitating their left-wing counterparts, but with key differences in their range of tactics, extremity of ideological alignment, and the practice of astroturfing.

New paper out @JITP_APSA! We look at right-wing "copycats" of progressive groups e.g. @MoveOn @GetUp @campact @Avaaz
Find similar patterns of emulation across partisan divides @Phillip_Ayoub @StoecklKristina

The German interior ministry has recently tried to ban right-wing news outlet COMPACT. But who accesses alt. news sources and what is their relationship to conspiracy theories and Russian propaganda? @SebStier @patrick_zerrer, H. Rauxloh & I had a look: doi.org/10.1080/08838151.202…

Thrilled to see my article published in German Politics and Society! A quite timely read, if I dare say, considering the upcoming state elections in Brandenburg, Thuringia and Saxony and the expected success of the ever more extremist #noAfD.

Digital media research is changing, and it can make it that much harder to study elections, as @m_dot_brown and I argue in our new @techpolicypress piece.

Women are highly underrepresented among scientific experts.
We show that if there are female experts, they are not perceived as less credible than their male colleagues. They are even considered slightly more credible among female citizens.
