Jason Loviglio, director of the Media and Communication Studies program in the Department of American Studies, was a guest on WYPR Radio’s (88.1 FM) Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast. He participated in a live panel discussion on the station’s controversial decision to dismiss longtime talk-show host Marc Steiner. Loviglio also spoke to the Baltimore Sun regarding Steiner’s dismissal, calling it a reflection of “a struggle for control between the (WYPR) board (of directors) and the personality who most epitomizes” the station’s longtime signature program.

Donald Norris, Public Policy, in the Washington Post
Democratic presidential candidates have had a substantial fundraising advantage in the Washington area over their Republican counterparts, according to recently filed campaign finance reports. “You always want to go fishing and hunting where the game is, and the game is definitely plentiful for the Democratic party (in Washington) and less plentiful for the Republicans,” Donald Norris, professor of public policy, told the Washington Post. The article, “Clinton, McClain Lead Parties in Washington Area Cash Race,” appeared on Feb. 3.

Tom Schaller, Political Science, in the News
Associate Professor of Political Science Tom Schaller appeared on WJZ Channel 13 news to comment on the “Super Tuesday” Feb. 5 presidential primary elections. He was a live guest during three newscasts between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The Boston Globe assessed Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s primary aspirations in the Northeast. “He’s moved to the right to compete for Bush Republicans,” Schaller told the newspaper. “But McCain is still viewed by the moderate wing of the party as a savior at this point.” The article, “McCain Looks to Lock Grip on Northeast,” ran on Feb. 2.

Writing for the Albany Times-Union, Schaller discussed the impact of New York Democratic politics on Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and the presidential election generally. “New York’s storied power as a political kingmaker, sad to say, remains largely dormant. But in 2008, the Empire State may again lay claim to the White House this time with the nation’s first female president,” Schaller wrote. The column, “State of 2008,” appeared on Feb. 3.

Schaller told the Christian Science Monitor that a critical step for the next Democratic presidential nominee is to spend time in the Rocky Mountain States and the Southwest. “Go there. (John) Kerry didn’t go there. (Al) Gore hardly spent any time there,” Schaller said. “The smartest thing (Democratic National Committee chair) Howard Dean did was pick Denver” as the 2008 convention site.
