Description of Current Work:

I am working on two projects involving measurement of media use.  The first project, funded by MacArthur, concerns a plan for standardized longitudinal measurement of youth digital media use.  The second project concerns the estimation of nonresponse bias in Nielsen television meter and diary data. In addition, I am beginning the final year of an eight year term as editor-in-chief of Public Opinion Quarterly, the leading outlet for articles in public opinion, communication and survey methodology.
