Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science and director of the University’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies, was a panelist for a recent Senate of Virginia 29th District Democratic Primary Debate in Woodbridge. The debate was sponsored by Potomac Local News and involved three local candidates seeking to replace Sen. Chuck Colgan (D) in the pivotal Prince William County district, which stretches from Woodbridge to Manassas Park.

Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science and director of the University’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies, recently had a research paper published. “Spinner-in-chief: How presidents shape the news” appeared in the April 2015 issue of Limes, the Italian Journal of Geopolitics. (The paper was translated into Italian and published under the title “Spinner-in-chief: come i presidenti plasmano le notizie.”)
