Matthew Hindman is an Associate Professor at the School of Media and Public Affairs. He specializes in Internet politics, political communication, and the political economy of digital media. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Arizona State University and a nonresident Faculty Associate at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society.
His research critically examines the intersection of technology and democracy, including the impact of search engines, social media, and digital monopolies on political discourse. His seminal book, *The Myth of Digital Democracy* (2009), won the Goldsmith Book Prize and the Donald McGannon Award. It challenges assumptions about the democratizing potential of the Internet, revealing how online political discourse remains concentrated among elites.
