Dr. Kennis’ academic pedigree is impressive, as is the fact that he’s chosen to conduct a significant portion of his work in academic contexts outside the United States. This, coupled with his extensive journalistic work in a variety of countries from a critical perspective, may help to make the work more engaging to an international audience.

Dr. Kennis writes in an accessible way (his background as a journalist helps here), and, with a case study approach that grounds concepts in a thick description of examples, this assures that undergrads may find his work approachable. Graduate students and scholars interested in journalism, digital media, international comm, and social movements would be drawn by the subject matter.
