Associate Professor Christopher Terry was quoted by @minnpost.bsky.social in a story about PAC spending on Minnesota congressional races. #UMNProud

www.minnpost.com/elections/20...
PAC spending on Minnesota congressional races fell 85% in 2024
The decline in independent expenditures could indicate that national attention on Minnesota’s congressional races may be waning.

For my @niemanlab.org prediction about what will happen to journalism in 2025, I put the question to ChatGPT and got a fairly good summary of past Nieman Lab predictions.

One glaring omission: any mention of Donald Trump. www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/an-a...
