NIU political scientist Matthew Streb has been in high demand with the media as of late.

Matthew Streb

Streb was interviewed recently for a segment on NPR’s Morning Edition examining the hotly contested congressional race in the 14th District. He also was interviewed by American Family Radio and has been a regular guest on WNIJ radio, the local NPR affiliate, providing analysis on the presidential primaries and local elections. He’ll continue in that role with WNIJ through the November general election.

Additionally, Streb’s political analysis has been used widely in newspapers across the region and country, from the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune to the Los Angeles Times.

He also has a new book out, “Rethinking American Electoral Democracy,” that has received attention from the likes of United Press International, the Beacon News in Aurora and the Courier News in Elgin.
