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.

Polymarket’s AI Is feeding users fabricated information. The prediction market fancies itself a “global truth machine” and a boon to journalism. Tow finds a very different reality. cjr.org/tow_center/polymarke…

A Tow Center investigation analyzed three years of Restoration News coverage. What we found is a new kind of right-wing media that is openly funded by political donors, with a distribution network that reaches prominent politicians and the courts.
