Hi there - I'm a cinematographer and mass media professor.

UM alumna Kaley Martin (’16) earned her Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication focused in Broadcast Production with a minor in Public Relations. She earned her Master of Arts in Strategic Communication and Innovation from Texas Tech University in 2019 and her Ph.D. in Communication & Information Sciences from The University of Alabama in 2024. Her academic research focus within journalism and creative media is rooted in media effects and examines the sociology of content creators (i.e., influencers, TikTokers, YouTubers, videographers, etc.), their working conditions, and their content’s effects/culture on the greater society. Her dissertation work surrounds the lived experiences and lack of female representation among cinematographers across the filmmaking subindustries.
