Timo Harjuniemi is joined by Reece Peck and Joonas Koivukoski to
discuss media and politics in the US. We cover a wide range of
topics: the birth of political cable news, the effects of tabloid
culture on politics, left media populism, rebranding conservatism
as working class, and the historical roots of culture wars. Reece
Peck is an associate professor at the CUNY Graduate Center where he
teaches courses in journalism, political communication and popular
culture. www.reecepeck.com https://twitter.com/PeckReece Joonas
