This research investigates how personality strength, news engagement, and news consumption influence engagement on Reddit, an environment that affords varying degrees of anonymity and is known to paradoxically host toxic and supportive communities. Using a survey of Redditors, findings suggest women are less likely to comment and post but are equally likely to vote and read posts as men, indicating there may be hesitation to engage in using more active participatory options within the site. Older users are more likely to comment and post when compared to younger users.

Professor Maxwell McCombs is a widely known authority in Journalism. Much of his historical and intellectual background, as well as his contribution to journalism and political communication, is found in this interview, done in 22-23 May 2017 in Austin (Texas) by two qualified interviewers: a corporate communications professional, and a professor of communications theory. The long conversations with the interviewee allow them to extract the best of his academic background and, one may also say, of his amiable character. Professor McCombs is currently the Jesse H. Jones Centennial Chair in Communication Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin. He has been visiting professor in many different US and worldwide universities. After the original Chapel Hill Study (North Carolina) with his colleague Donald Shaw he coined the term 'agenda setting' in 1968. He received his M.A. and his Ph.D. from Stanford University and his B.A. from Tulane University.
