Julie Andsager studies media framing of health information and effects of message construction, especially in terms of how gender affects coverage. She also conducts research on audience interpretation of health-related messages. Her studies have appeared in Communication Research, the Journal of Communication, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Health Communication, Women & Health, and other journals.
Andsager’s earlier work on public support for freedom of expression remains a research interest. She is first co-author on a forthcoming book, Free Expression and Five Democratic Publics: Support for Individual and Media Rights (with Robert O. Wyatt and Ernest Martin; Hampton Press, 2003).
