CIC Fellow’s Research Receives Major News Coverage

CIC Fellow Samantha Bradshaw recently served as lead author for an Oxford study that found authoritarian and democratic governments game social media to shape public opinion. Her work was covered by Bloomberg and The Washington Post. In her interview with Bloomberg, Samantha comments “Social media makes propaganda campaigns much stronger and potentially more effective than in the past…I don’t think people realize how much governments are using these tools to reach them. It’s a lot more hidden.”
