Shengchun Huang

Truly bittersweet news to me but always ready to cheer for your future WOWs!!! ❤️🎉🥳 Congrats again, Jo!

Congratulations to Annenberg's newest Ph.D. @sarahuang.bsky.social, who successfully defended her dissertation yesterday!

She will be joining the faculty at UT Austin’s Moody College of Communication as an Assistant Professor.

Join us in congratulating Dr. Huang!

The project title: "Passive versus Active News Exposure in All-Web". DM me if you want to access it via zoom! A preprint version will be shared in the fall-keep an eye out for it!

I’ll be remotely presenting our work at the 7/23 8:30 AM ET hybrid session at IC2S2! By measuring both passive exposure and active engagement with news content, we provide a more nuanced view of how algorithmic curation and user agency shape digital news consumption.

Hi #PolComm, I will present my dissertation which develops a trust-based theory of misinformation belief and sharing in social contexts using a dyadic interactive experiment on oTree at #ica25. The presentation will take place on Saturday at 1:30pm in Centennial F, Hyatt Regency. Come check it out!

🚀 Everyone’s using LLMs to generate message stimuli—but how well do they *actually* perform? Can they manipulate better than humans? Control confounds? We put them to the test—and the results are more surprising than you'd expect.

TikTok Faces U.S. Ban After Losing Bid to Overturn New Law The law will ban the video app in the United States by Jan. 19 if its owner, ByteDance, does not sell it to a non-Chinese company.

Looks like TikTok may be "banned" in the US if it doesn't sell by Jan 19. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/b... I have two questions about this that the article doesn't answer:
