## Resource

On the podcast is Victor Picard. He's the Edwin Baker Professor of media policy and political economy at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for communication, where he co-directs the Media Inequality and Change Center. His research explores the intersections of U.S. and global media, activism and politics, media history, democratic theory, and communications policy. John Carlos Frey and Victor discuss the current media landscape and how the very fabric of democracy is being threatened by a suppression of the First Amendment and unprecedented multi-media merger deals. Accurate information about the immigration raids and news in general is getting harder to come by. An eye-opening episode of The Raid by industry insiders. https://www.asc.upenn.edu/people/faculty/victor-pickard-phd https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").
