Mentioned Saagar Enjeti & Krystal Ball's Breaking Points in my undergrad public opinion course as an example of a new model of political media in a highly fragmented info environment. Podcasts and subscription platforms like this seem ripe for studies on media choice/belief formation

Still can’t believe it’s real but…I’m happy to share that I’ll be joining the Duke Initiative for Survey Methodology as a postdoc next year! Too many people to thank for getting me here (+ I’d feel guilty forgetting anyone), but you know who you are & I appreciate ya.

Feels so good to be back in Chicago for #MPSA2022 after several years away. DM me if you’re lookin’ to hang tonight or tomorrow! Can’t wait to see my people again.

Can Americans’ trust in local news be trusted? The emergence, sources, and implications of the local news trust advantage by Erik Peterson, Joshua P. Darr, Maxwell B. Allamong and Michael Henderson is now available. Joshua P. Darr Max Allamong Mike Henderson ow.ly/y8VC50VzauM
