Costas Panagopoulos, a political science professor at Northeastern University, told USA Today that viewership of conventions has declined because they have morphed into something more scripted compared to when they were not broadcast on television.

As for why this is happening, James Alan Fox, a criminology and public policy professor at Northeastern University, pointed to some possible factors: the city’s relatively low gun ownership rate, aging population, and robust hospital network capable of treating gunshot victims effectively. 

Meta’s move to stop amplifying news in user feeds may be the right one for shareholders as executives have come to view moderating that type of content as an unsustainable business cost, said Laura Edelson, an assistant professor of computer science at Northeastern University. 

Loper, however, will make the FTC more cautious about pursuing companies like Teami Tea, which in 2020 agreed to pay $1 million to settle claims that celebrities didn’t reveal their Instagram posts promoting the brand were sponsored, said Alexandra Roberts, a professor of law and media at Northeastern University.

Jacqueline McCleary, an assistant professor in physics at Northeastern University who was not involved in the study, said the new research helps inform “a decades-long debate over what role, exactly, climate change will play in the changing length of the day.”

“There are many things that people desperately want to know that we just don’t know yet,” said Laura Edelson, a professor at Northeastern University.

But with television coverage, the appearance of conflict within the party became politically risky and the events morphed into something more scripted, according to Costas Panagopoulos, a political science professor at Northeastern University.

“What we don’t want is to be losing critical minerals from the supply chain,” says Martin Bazant, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT who leads the Center for Battery Sustainability, a joint effort of MIT and Northeastern University. “We have to be able to recycle them.”
