A division of the University of Wisconsin Mass Communication Research Center, the Media and Society Research Group (MSRG@UW) looks at the interaction of media content, knowledge, affect, and attitudes and their impact on public opinion and behavior for a wide range of issues. As a student-run group, the MSRG focuses on facilitating student research that seeks to identify the social and interpersonal contexts and variables that shape the communication process. Working in collaboration with several faculty members from various fields, the group is able to conduct groundbreaking research through qualitative and quantitative data collected at both the national and local level.
