I’m joining The American Prospect!

January 17, 2017 by Sam Wang

I’m pleased to announce that I have agreed to join The American Prospect as a contributing editor. As many of you may know, the Prospect has a history of taking on political writers at the start of their careers: Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Josh Marshall, Jamelle Bouie, and others. It is an honor to join the latest generation of contributors, especially at a pivotal time in history. By the way, you should support the Prospect by subscribing or donating.

I will continue to write here. I’ll use the Princeton Election Consortium to post more technical analyses, kick around data-in-the-public-interest ideas for my new class, and go into depth on matters of statistics, law, and elections.

My first piece at the Prospectconcerns presidential approval at the Obama-to-Trump transition, which is showing the biggest nosedive in over 60 years. Check it out.

Congratulations, Dr Wang!
I will be adding my subscription.
You have previously written much about extreme gerrymandering, and on PEC we have discussed the role of the media. Allow me to point out this striking analysis – very much in tune with your own – by Professor Christopher R. Browning on today’s Vox.com.

Congrats!
Hope you don’t mind if I put a plug in for the call to action of one of the co-founders of the American Prospect, Robert Reich:

Robert Reich spent 8 years bashing Obama. He spent most of last year trashing Hillary. I’m delighted that he’s finally noticed Republicans exist.
