Substantial media interest has accompanied much of the work of the Lab, with media commentaries appearing in several newpapers, magazines, and other mainstream publications; as well as appearances on NPR and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show." One of the articles produced by scholars in the lab is the most cited article to appear in the APSR in the past 5 years. Numerous blogs have commented upon or reported the work being done in the lab (click here and here for examples). Stories inspired by work in the Lab have appeared in media outlets in Brazil, Argentina, Ireland, the UK, Spain, and elsewhere.
