Delighted to have interviewed with WBUR's Meghna Chakrabarti "On Point." First half discusses the historical intricacies of the US public media ecosystem. Second half I tried to detail how the GOP rescission bill was designed to attack democratic media. wbur.org/onpoint/2025/0…
Writing so that an argument is ordered in a specific way, and choosing one’s words so that they express an intended meaning, is a responsible way to conduct solid scholarship. Is it the most entertaining approach? Depends the audience.
