Thanks to Bloomsbury for bringing us on to lead the publicity campaign for voting rights attorney David F. Walbert, who has argued multiple cases before the Supreme Court. His just-published book, STEALING ELECTIONS, AMERICAN STYLE, delivers a sweeping history of how American elections have been manipulated, contested, and outright stolen since the nation’s inception.

In Trump’s methods, David sees both echoes of the past—control who votes, control who counts the votes—and an approach uniquely brazen in its disregard for the democratic process. Here are just a couple of the interviews and op-eds he’s done, and a photo of his appearance on MSNOW’s Morning Joe this morning (pic taken on a rainy day in Maine.)

Spring at Press Shop PR has been jam-packed with pub days, events, media hits, and now, some very welcome greenery in Prospect Park!

Two of our authors just received major honors. Haley Cohen Gilliland, whose debut A FLOWER TRAVELED THROUGH MY BLOOD (Simon & Schuster Books) tells the story of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo and their fight to find their stolen grandchildren during Argentina's dictatorship, was just named a Pulitzer finalist.

And Ieva Jusionyte, author of EXIT WOUNDS, on the American guns flowing south into Mexico, was named a Guggenheim fellow — following her MacArthur grant last year. We are over the moon for both of them!

Congratulations to Atima Omara, author of THE INSTIGATORS: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (And What We Can Learn From Them), and her publisher HarperCollins Publishers, on pub day last week. We're celebrating her feature in the Boston Globe, "How Black Women Instigate for Democracy": https://bit.ly/4uiIGYQ and this recent conversation with Chuck Todd: “What Does A Winning Democratic Coalition Look Like In ‘28?” https://bit.ly/4uEb8nP

We worked with behavioral scientist Leidy Klotz on SUBTRACT in 2022 and are thrilled to be back for IN A GOOD PLACE, just published by Little, Brown and Company. It's full of surprising insights into how the smallest adjustments to your spaces can make outsized differences in your relationships, your work life, and your sense of self. Tune in to upcoming interviews on Next Big Idea Club, Good Life Project, Art of Charm, Something You Should Know, and many more.

Carlos Orsi, author of WHAT SCIENCE SAYS ABOUT ASTROLOGY (the first in the new “What Science Says” series from Columbia University Press) had a great excerpt in Live Science: https://bit.ly/42r2YDv

And an excellent essay in Slate: “The Problem With Astrology: Most people know it’s bogus. But dabbling in it anyway isn’t as harmless as it may seem.”

I met so many smart, creative, and inspiring higher ed journalists and media folks at the Lumina Foundation's Attention Economy Journalist Conference in Indianapolis! Publications represented at this event include The Hechinger Report, PBS NewsHour, PRX The World, The Washington Monthly, Capital B, Wisconsin Watch, CalMatters, and The Texas Tribune.

In addition to delivering hard-hitting reporting on the complex and often fraught topic of higher education, many of them are experimenting—trying new formats for sharing their work, tight subject focus to stand out, analog outreach to hard-to-reach communities, creative approaches to crowdsourcing story ideas, and novel ways of engaging students in reporting work.

At a time when there's a lot of troubling news about the news, this gathering is giving me genuine hope for the future of journalism. There's a real hunger for good information presented well—and there are a lot of talented people here figuring out how to deliver it. Gigantic thanks to Lumina Foundation’s Kevin Corcoran and Mandy Facer for their vision and their support for all of this work.

Pictured: me and Press Shop PR's brilliant associate publicist Nora Sullivan Horner co-leading a panel with Paul Glastris, the Editor in Chief of of The Washington Monthly, and Brandis Griffith Friedman, host of Chicago Tonight on Chicago's PBS station WTTW, on how to help high-quality journalism travel farther and find new audiences.

Eyck Freymann, author of DEFENDING TAIWAN: Strategy to Prevent War with China (Oxford University Press), had an excellent—albeit sobering—interview on MSNOW’s Morning Joe. He walks through what's at stake if China invades Taiwan or imposes a military blockade, given that Taiwan manufactures 90% of the world's advanced semiconductors.

Freymann (www.eyckfreymann.com) argues that Beijing has been closely watching the Strait of Hormuz, and could replicate those tactics in the Strait of Taiwan—with even more painful results for the global economy.

What a wonderful whirlwind of a Whiting Award week!

We kicked off Wednesday with an intimate winners' lunch ; then the ten winners of this year's award were announced and celebrated at a ceremony and reception at the gorgeous The New York Historical that evening. A media lunch and interviews followed on Thursday, and the festivities were topped off with a brilliant reading at Books Are Magic in Brooklyn last night.

Gigantic congratulations to this incredible cohort! We’re looking forward to working with them going forward … and to sleeping a tremendous amount this weekend!

University of Texas law professor Mechele Dickerson spoke with Walter Isaacson on Amanpour & Company about her new book THE MIDDLE-CLASS NEW DEAL (University of California Press). Her argument is simple and damning: the decline of the American middle class isn't inevitable — it's a policy choice. The GI Bill created mass upward mobility after WWII, and the tools exist to do it again. On homeownership, education, and more, Dickerson shows exactly what needs to be done. Washington has simply chosen not to do it.

Mechele writes in the book about her own middle-class upbringing and that of her sons, and in a delightful touch, the show shared photos of her parents and her two (grown) boys!
