<p><br>
</p>
<p>I hope your week is wrapping up well. The Communication Studies Department is bring Dr. Kathleen Searles, assistant professor of political communication at LSU's Manship School of Mass Communication, to campus on Wednesday, October 3 to speak about politics
and mobile news. There are two related opportunities I wanted to share with your department: <br>

Summary: <span style="caret-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 14.666666984558105px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Today, most U.S. adults (89%) report using their mobile phones to access
news. Recent gains in mobile news consumption raise questions about how news attention and engagement differ in the mobile setting. Using consumption data from the real world, we are able to characterize how Americans use their devices to consume news and
entertainment, and the picture is bleak: most people spend significantly less time reading news on their mobile devices. To understand whether these patterns affect the way we process information, we field two lab studies utilizing eye-tracking technology
to examine the extent to which people differ in attention and recall across computers, tablets and smartphones. In both studies, we find that consuming news on a mobile device exerts costs which result in poorer learning outcomes. Follow-up studies fielded
24 hours after exposure reveal and even more dramatic gap in recall performance between mobile and computer users. As the American public increasingly relies on mobile devices for news, these findings suggest the move to mobile has consequences for an informed
electorate. </span><br>
