Diana Zulli studies how political communication and news coverage operate on social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Mastodon, including topics like political scandals, crisis and terrorism coverage, internet memes, and gendered media framing of political figures. Her work combines media studies, political communication, and platform-specific analysis to examine how digital environments shape political discourse and public perception. Prospective students interested in social media's role in politics, journalism framing, or platform governance may find her research relevant.
Publication output increased notably from 2017-2019 (about 1 per year) to a peak around 2020-2021 (5 per year), followed by a somewhat lower but steady pace of 2-3 publications per year through 2023-2025.
