Sam and Emma host Jon Marshall, associate professor at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, to discuss his recent book Clash: Presidents and the Press in Times of Crisis. Professor Marshall dives right into where the dynamic between the Presidency and the press stands today, looking at the troubled relationship as a continuation of two centuries of US history. Next, he, Emma, and Sam jump back to the 1790s, looking to John Adams’ attacks on newspapers via the Sedition Act, cracking down on critiques of the government, only to see a spectacular backfire with a resounding loss in the election of 1800. Prof Marshal then walks through the structure he follows in his analysis, using ten specific presidencies that he thought reflected the progression of this dynamic, next moving forwards to the Presidency of Abe Lincoln, and the influence he took from the abolitionist press of the time, seeing it both as a central perspective to take in on the issue and as an important part of his GOP coalition, as the press pushed him from a tentative but anti-slavery president to signing the emancipation proclamation. Emma, Sam, and Jon then move forwards to Woodrow Wilson’s prosecution of anti-war journalists during the first World War, not only relying on Adams’ Sedition Act but bringing about the Trading with Enemies and Espionage acts, and the rollback of the overwhelming executive isolation from the press as the war ended – particularly after his lack of a relationship with the press saw the Right step in and turn public opinion on his League of Nations – before the Espionage act made its return in the late aughts and early 2010s with Obama employing the act against whistleblowers more than all previous presidents combined. This, of course, set the stage for Donald Trump’s presidency, and his extension of espionage to journalists on the *receiving* end of leaks, particularly amidst the media boom of the 21st century, with countless new avenues (both more and less legitimate) arising between the President and media, yet algorithms and a crippling of local news serving to corrupt and corporatize much of the industry. They wrap up the interview by diving deeper into disinformation in media and the role government can, and should, play in supporting integrity in journalism.

https://ourpowermaine.org/ A listener from Maine calls in to discuss a then-upcoming referendum that was appearing on the state ballot in last week's midterm elections. Maine voters rejected the proposal for "Pine Tree Power," a publicly-owned electric utility, in a referendum. Question 3 presented voters with the choice of maintaining the existing investor-owned utilities, Central Maine Power (CMP) and Versant Power, or establishing a unique statewide consumer-owned utility named The Pine Tree Power Company. The innovative plan aimed for a complete takeover of CMP and Versant to form a state-level public power company, but with the "No" vote prevailing, the current status quo is upheld. CMP and Versant will remain the dominant utilities in Maine, providing power to different regions. The rejection highlights the persisting monopoly of power delivery in the state and maintains the regulatory role of the Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in overseeing these utilities' operations, rates, and service standards.
