Today we present dr Paweł Baranowski
He is a political scientist by education, but since the beginning of his scientific activity he has been connected with the discipline of social communication sciences and media. He works as an assistant professor at the Media Studies Department of the Institute of Journalism and Social Communication at the University of Wrocław.
My research interests revolve around new media, political communication and journalism studies, says dr Baranowski. – I am currently conducting research using quantitative methods, which mainly deals with electoral communication from the perspective of a political actor in social media, including an international comparative aspect. I am also interested in the reactions of social media users to the use of particular communication strategies.
