Kim's research, "The Stealth Media: Groups and Targets behind Divisive Issue Campaigns on Facebook" received the Kaid-Sanders Best Article of the Year in Political Communication (2018) awarded by the International Communication Association. Kim testified at the Federal Election Commission's hearings on the rulemaking of internet communication disclaimers. Her research on Russian election interference in the US presidential election was cited by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
