There are almost no redeeming qualities left to Twitter.

Delighted to be presenting alongside international colleagues in the MeCCSA Policy Network "Future of Public Service Media" series. The event is apparently sold out.

Had a great time consulting with the “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” team over the past couple months, and they kindly gave my book a shoutout during the episode.

The official website for the President’s newborn investment initiative has one of the cleanest designs I’ve seen in a while. Also, they have an announcement coming up on December 17th👀

“The best thing about Denver is John Denver.” - Devo live in Denver tonight

Introducing the new Student and Early Career Representative of ICA's Communication History Division (CHD), Esperanza Herrero!

Here’s the thing: Without public scrutiny and caucus tension, Senate Democrats caving for the promise a vote would have *felt* like the most likely outcome imo. Now that it’s being reported on, it gets interesting. (also yes this is real people’s health care on the line!!!)

Full moon over Chicago

Historic victory for Democratic Socialism and, frankly, the good of the country.

Congrats Tuğba! Recommended for anyone interested in learning more about human rights.

Today, I voted to unionize alongside my friends and peers in the Penn State philosophy department! Graduate workers are on the front lines of the battle for higher education and we all need to get organized—standing together without fear, standing up for our rights. @cge_psu

Wow, public media research is really in demand right now. Look at the price of my book the lower left corner.

I'm giving the talk "The Ends of US Public Media" at the University of Québec at Montreal on where NPR and PBS came from, and what's going to happen next for US public media. This one's on Zoom, free registration - next time in Montreal itself I hope!

The first ever Engaging Stuart Hall in/from the Global South - hugely excited for this conference at the end of this month at Pretoria.

Thanks to American Campus, the podcast about the history of higher education, for featuring my book. We talk about how NPR and PBS emerged from equal access to education discourses. And how Media Studies originated as a strategy of public media activism.

It’s bleak because people are forgetting that they used to live differently. They may not like how things are, but they’re responding to and interpreting everything within the narrow terms that they’re given. And there is a great loss of imagination.

Delighted to have joined the History of Film podcast to discuss why public media matters. https://t.co/nmNNMkNIb1

One of genealogies of Media Studies is that many early methods began as advocacy strategies of 1940s media reform, to change broadcast regulation to allow for more educational channels. Put differently, Media Studies originated as a research movement to build US Public Media.
