The biggest story isn’t how much money is being spent — it’s where & how it’s being deployed across competitive races, TV, streaming & social media. This is what we uncover in Need to Know: Who's in Your Media Market newsletter: whosinyourmediamarket.substack.com/p/growth-and... What we're seeing 👇

Over the past year, PSG Consulting’s #FirstMondaysWebinar series on narratives brought together diverse voices to ask a shared question: How do we create narratives that strengthen our democracy? One thing became clear — we won’t rebuild America without stories rooted in everyday lived experiences.

Why is othering so powerful — and so dangerous? Our brains are hardwired to categorize, stereotype and determine whether we need to fight or flee. We organize by "in-groups" and "out-groups" — with "out-groups" being potentially threatening to our sense of identity and status.

These attacks undermine schools & science, while undercutting the American Dream & our competitiveness. pagegardner.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

As we prepare for the 2026 midterms, who ensures access to reliable information? In our #FirstMondaysWebinar, @jgo4justice.bsky.social warns: while AI companies draw trillions in investment, the burden of navigating misinformation is falling on the public. www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/ame...

Big Beautiful Bill Betrayals: Trump promised to work for the working class, then Congress passed legislation that betrayed those who put him in office. This legislation makes it harder for everyday Americans to afford food & healthcare & to access services. There is one word for this bill: cruel.

Today we thank Speaker Nancy Pelosi — a brilliant, strategic leader with a heart as big as Mount Rushmore. She gave her heart to this country and to everyone she served. Thank you for your leadership, your care and your incredible legacy.

In our most recent #FirstMondaysWebinar, Corrie Hunt of Hart Research breaks down how to combat the Right's "Us vs. Them" strategy of othering, which is used to pit Americans against each other. Some research-backed ways to create counter-narratives ⬇️

@mmfa.bsky.social analyzed 320 popular ideologically-driven online shows, and 9 out of 10 are right-leaning. These 9 shows had a combined following of over 480M people across platforms — nearly 5x as many as left-leaning shows. www.mediamatters.org/google/right...

For Trump, the timing mattered. With midterm elections approaching and approval ratings under pressure, the administration wanted headlines showing momentum, especially after years of tariff battles that disrupted global markets and supply chains. 😈
