On Comments

A resource for the consideration of online comments.

As you might expect, comments are welcome.

About me

I am an assistant professor in the School of Communication at American University in Washington, D.C. I have been a newspaper reporter, a visiting professor at The George Washington University, and research director for the Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet (IPDI).

IPDI is no longer around, but I have linked to many of our research reports about the early days of online politics.
