My name is Gal Grinstein. I hold a B.A. in communication and journalism, and a BSc. earned through the prestigious MATAR excellence program at the Hebrew University's School of Computer Science and Engineering. The MATAR program (interfaces of technology, society and networks) is a multidisciplinary program that prepares the leaders who will influence the future configuration of digital media and social action while focusing on various technological, analytical, social, economic, legal and ethical issues. This unique combination of perspectives informs my deep interest in political media and its impact on consumers. As a television news consumer myself, I'm particularly fascinated by how political communication is evolving through this medium, with respect to technological innovations and the increasing influence of social media. My undergraduate seminar, for example, delved into how viewers perceive bias in newscasts based on the participants involved. Beyond my academic pursuits, I work at Channel 12 News. My academic mentor is Dr. Eran Amsalem.
