On a personal note, the past year's been quite challenging to get through for various reasons, and I am so grateful to see my work from then be noticed and validated! As always, I couldn't be more grateful to all my supervisors and friends for helping me stick through it. ☺️

The News is Not Made for Me scale is an 8-item scale that investigates the growing gap between news providers and audiences as well as audience inequality gaps related to news use and benefits. It gets at what we call "agnostic" features of news - such as pace, language, and access.
