How are we influenced by the information we are exposed to? (NCRM) - Iulia Cioroianu
The media environment, including the way we consume our news has been radically changed by the advent of the Internet.

Iulia Cioroianu from the University of Exeter discusses research undertaken as part of the NCRM-funded <a href='http://www.ncrm.ac.uk/research/ExpoNet/'>ExpoNet</a> project which is producing a set of tools to make it possible to examine these ideas more closely.
