Schiffrin's recent CJR @TowCenter report, "Mayor Mamdani's Friendly Influencers and the Funding of Public Messaging in New York City", is making waves and leaving us with a lot of questions.
Read @RobGeorge's Q&A with Anya M. Schiffrin in Searchlight to dig in.
This week, we're all talking about how city agencies and the Mamdani administration are increasingly using paid influencers and creators to reach New Yorkers. Columbia's Anya M. Schiffrin unpacks the debate further in a Q&A with @RobGeorge 👇
