I never properly introduced myself when I joined Oct. 29.

I have been teaching #journalism at NYU since 1986. I have a PhD in media studies. My masters thesis was on McLuhan. My PhD thesis was about the concept of "the public."

I write a lot about press coverage of politics, and try to puzzle out what journalists as a group are thinking, which is why my site is called pressthink.org

I've been online since 1996. Been blogging since 2003. On Twitter since 2008.

Thanks for making Mastodon.

@jayrosen_nyu Thank you for the biography. Given your expertise in the teachings of Marshall McLuhan, I'm wondering if you've analyzed twitter, etc. social media based on his theories of 'hot' and 'cold', etc? Similarly, Donald Trump. How would McLuhan have seen him? Would like very much to read same. Thanks, -todd
