As states across the nation voted in the Super Tuesday Primaries, Nancy Gibbs, editor of TIME, visited the Shorenstein Center to discuss the parallels between the disruption of the media industry and the upheaval of politics during the 2016 presidential campaign. In this election cycle, the "traditional entities" – the political parties, the media and the donor class – have been “cut out” as middlemen, said Gibbs. Outsider candidates - particularly Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders - have been able to "build an audience, deliver a message, and create a platform, all of their own construction." Gibbs also discussed technology in government, journalism business models, media bias, money in politics, coverage of Donald Trump, and voter turnout. This Shorenstein Center Speaker Series event was recorded on March 1, 2016, at Harvard Kennedy School.
