Russian Interference in US Elections with Prof. Kim

In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were grateful to have the opportunity to talk to Young Mie Kim, Professor in the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a faculty affiliate of Political Science and the Elections Research Center. Over the last several years, Prof. Kim’s work on the role of Russian interference in the 2016 election has received national and international attention. She has spent much of the first half of 2020 at the Campaign Legal Center in Washington DC where she researched federal solutions to digital political advertising. We talked to Prof. Kim about her research into social media, propaganda, foreign influence in US elections, and the impact on the electoral process and democracy more generally. We learned a lot from our conversation with Prof. Kim, and hope you will too.
