Note(s):

Reference categories are Public for Communication Actors and Topic 8 (Agriculture) for Topic Attributes. Exp (B) represents IRR. All models use robust standard errors. Across all three models, communication actor type and topic attribute were jointly significant predictors of engagement (all p < 0.001)
