Keith N. Hampton, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Communication, discusses social media's advantages for eavesdropping in a September 13 story in USA Today. "It's exposure to little bits of information you would never otherwise have had access to," Prof. Hampton said in the article. "And little bits of information can be really important. You have access to new ideas, and not from very close social ties that know what you know."
