Angela Cirucci is a PhD student at Temple University in the department of Mass Media and Communication and a professor at Lincoln University in the Mass Communications Center of Excellence. She received her MA from Temple University in Broadcasting, Telecommunication and Mass Media and her BA from Rowan University in Radio, Television and Film.
     As a researcher and theorist, Angela explores social media and its effects on identity and perception of reality. She is particularly interested in Facebook and its many, but often unnoticed, similarities to video games--including its extremely immersive nature.
      Angela teaches many courses at Lincoln University including Introduction to Mass Communications, Mass Media Law and Ethics, Radio Production and Programming and The WWLU Radio Practicum. Additionally, she is interested in helping her students to become more media literate and hopes to change some of the current trends in social media usage.
     Angela currently lives in Swedesboro, NJ with her husband Walt and their overflowing book collection.
