[6][7] Some of Azari's work in science communication, including posts on the Mischiefs of Faction blog, have also in turn been cited in academic literature.

[12][13] Azari regularly writes for Mischiefs of Faction, which was founded as an independent political science blog in 2012, and for a period after 2015 was incorporated into Vox.

[18] In 2019, Azari was the recipient of the inaugural Best Public-Facing Scholarship Award from the American Political Science Association, which recognizes the "best public-facing scholarship published in the previous calendar year", including "blog posts and popular press publications intended for a broad public audience".

[20][21] In 2020 Azari wrote a series of op-eds in The Washington Post on "how to improve the presidential nominating process".

The headline of one of them, "It's time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president", was changed after it received backlash.
