Wild West Politics: The New Era of Campaigns

Political technologist Eric Wilson joins Ravi to explore the rapidly changing world of political campaigning. They discuss why podcasts were a major player in the 2024 election, the ways the new media landscape will continue to shape politics, and what campaigns should do in response. Ravi and Eric also explore the fragmentation of media consumption, how traditional field operations have struggled to adapt to the realities of the attention economy, and why more innovative business models are needed in journalism.
