Phil Napoli on Trump’s Media Strategy and the Future of Political Coverage

Jeff Hamlin talks with Phil Napoli, Professor of Public Policy at Duke University, about the implications of Donald Trump’s election and his unconventional approach to media engagement. Trump’s decision to bypass traditional news outlets like 60 Minutes and The Washington Post in favor of popular platforms like The Joe Rogan Experience marks a fundamental shift in how presidential candidates connect with the public. Professor Napoli examines how Trump became the first Republican in two decades to win the popular vote, exploring what this approach means for the future of political coverage, media influence, and the evolving landscape of public discourse.
