UW-Madison political science and journalism professor Mike Wagner co-published a recent paper looking into how Wisconsinites talked, and didn't talk, about Gov. Scott Walker's controversial Act 10 law in 2011. The law struck collective bargaining abilities from public-sector unions and sparked massive protests at the state Capitol. The paper is published in the Journal of Communication.
