My name is Jaewon Royce Choi. I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Spiegel Research Center at Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications.
At Spiegel, I am currently involved in research projects that examine audience engagement with media using behavioral data and quantitative analysis, including Medill's Local News Initiative. More broadly, my research explores behavioral and cognitive facets of engagement in three broad themes: (1) What enables engagement? (2) How and why do people engage with media? and (3) The ramifications of media engagement.
