Recent research by @VWPickard and @Teejneff found that countries with well-funded public media have stronger democracies. In a new Q&A, they explain where the U.S. ranks (spoiler alert: very low), and how public media benefits journalism and democracy. asc.upenn.edu/news-events/ne…
In which I take a new paper by @Teejneff and @VWPickard and add — ketchup doodling — "a Tucker Carlson lens" — obligatory Hallin's spheres — the phrase "Auntie Peebs," which I think I may have just coined as a nickname for @PBS, at least based on Google? niemanlab.org/2022/01/do-cou…

Thrilled to see two publications long in the works published in quick succession...

The US is a global outlier for how little it supports public media--it's almost literally off the chart. @Teejneff & I argue in @CJR that to combat systemic market failure & save local journalism, we must fund public media in line with international norms. cjr.org/opinion/public-fundi…

Important new study that "concludes by recommending more scholarly attention should be paid to theorising national policy dynamics that shape the political information environments of media systems within nations." Completely agree -- @Teejneff and I are beginning to study this.
