Ray Pingree is the Doris Westmoreland Darden Professor at the Manship School of Mass Communication, Louisiana State University. His research examines how political communication could improve democratic processes by addressing dysfunctions in public discourse.
His work focuses on media dysfunctions including the treatment of politics as competition rather than problem-solving, lack of accountability for dishonesty, and sensationalized issue prioritization. Through experimental approaches, Pingree identifies leverage points for improving media practices and audience media literacy.
Pingree's publications demonstrate sustained focus on political communication dynamics, with recent work examining pandemic-related media effects and partisan information processing.
