After a year away spent finishing my dissertation and starting my first year as an assistant professor, I’ve restarted this blog. And, after losing some of the data to a hacking, I’ve tried to clean it up. While it’s not perfect, it’s a space where I can start gathering thoughts for future work.

Much of this blog contributed to my thoughts and words in my forthcoming book and I hope will serve a similar purpose in the future — particularly in terms of scholarship on news as a form of social control.

Enjoy!
