Podcast appearances and mentions of matt guardino

This episode of the Providence College Podcast features the most recent episode from Beyond Your News Feed: Understanding Contemporary Politics, a podcast of the Department of Political Science.America has often prided itself as a nation of immigrants. Apart from indigenous peoples, Americans generally are descended from someone who came to this country from somewhere else. Despite this history, in recent years, many Americans have shown growing hostility toward immigrants. Politicians like Donald Trump have fueled and capitalized on this hostility in their anti-immigrant rhetoric. Immigrants who engage in political action of some type or hold elective office are particular targets of hostile reactions.The guests on this episode are Jeff Pugh, Ph.D., associate professor of conflict resolution at the McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and Matt Guardino, Ph.D., associate professor of political science at Providence College. They are principal investigators for a major national study: The Immigrant Visibility and Political Activism Research Collaborative, a joint initiative of Providence College and the University of Massachusetts Boston, funded by the Russell Sage Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Their study seeks to understand xenophobic reactions to immigrants – in particular reactions toward those immigrants who engage in political action.

"Beyond Your News Feed: Understanding Contemporary Politics" is a podcast by the Department of Political Science. This episode of Beyond Your News Feed explores the fate of local news. Dr. Andrea McDonnell and Dr. Matt Guardino, both associate professors of political science, join host Dr. William Hudson, professor of political science, for a conversation about the dire straits of local newspapers and the impact on American democracy. McDonnell also serves as director of PC's new communications minor. Over the past couple of decades, local newspapers across the country have begun to disappear. Battered by huge revenue losses from declining advertising and circulation, newspaper owners have sought to reduce costs in a variety of ways, including selling newspaper buildings, outsourcing printing and other tasks, but mostly by firing reporters — depriving the paper of the very journalism that makes the paper valuable. This strategy, obviously, has meant newspapers that are thinner, with less news for their readers, and less able to monitor what is happening in the local community. The obvious result is even more declines in circulation and revenues. This decline in local news has affected every city in America and some of its most venerable, prize-winning papers such as the Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Baltimore Sun, and The Providence Journal. McDonnell and Guardino explain why local newspapers are in trouble, what effect this has on democracy and local citizens, and what might be done to restore vibrant local newspapers.

Professors Adam Myers, Matt Guardino, and Joe Cammarano, all of the PC political science department join host, William Hudson for a post-election analysis of the 2020 election.  The focus of our discussion is the larger meaning of this election for the future of American politics.  What is the significance and long-term implications of the high level of mobilization, shown by the high election turnout, combined with the sharp divide among voters - a nearly equal portion supporting the opposing candidates? What impact will the election make on the ability of our government to address critical problems like the COVID crisis, racial division, growing economic inequality, climate change, and deteriorating infrastructure?  How will the parties react to shifts in voting among key constituencies and new cleavages between groups?  What are the implications of the divided media environment and the explosion of misinformation?  What will be the long-term effects of attempts to de-legitimize the outcome and electoral institutuions?

Professors Adam Myers, Matt Guardino, and Joe Cammarano, all of the PC political science department join host, William Hudson to look at the state of the presidential race seven days out from election day.  We cover a wide  variety of topics including the race in key battleground states, the impact of early voting, potential surprises, and potential for election disruption.  We also look at key Senate races and the prospects for the Democrats to gain a majority.  

Host William Hudson is joined by political scientists Adam Myers and Matt Guardino to analyze the shape of the presidential race as of August 18th.  Our conversation took place after the first day of the Democrats virtual convention.  We reflect for a few minutes on how we think the Democrats did in making their case for electing Joe Biden on this first day.  We then discuss Democratic nominee Joe Biden's lead in the current polls and what that suggests about the likely election outcome.  We identify several factors that might produce a  Trump victory despite Biden's current lead, including the Electoral College - how Trump might benefit from shifts in some of the key battleground states he won in 2016 and the impact of what might be a chaotic election process in the midst of the Covid pandemic.  We dissect Biden's pick of Kamala Harris as his running mate and what impact that may have on the election.  Finally, we describe what appears to be the campaign strategies of the Biden and Trump camps and how effective they are likely to be. 

Neoliberal policies have been a primary feature of American political economy for decades. In Framing Inequality: News Media, Public Opinion, and the Neoliberal Turn in US Public Policy (Oxford University Press, 2019), Matt Guardino focuses on the power of corporate news media in shaping how the public understands the key policy debates during this period. Based on a range of evidence from the Reagan Revolution into the Trump administration, he explains how profit pressures in the media have narrowed and trivialized news coverage and influenced public attitudes in the process. Guardino is associate professor of political science at Providence College.
