“Narrative Warfare” – QAnon, an MSU professor, and a Provocative Puzzler

How did this accomplished professor go from a chronicler of conspiracy theories to a character in one? Is this eccentric composer the “mastermind behind QAnon?” Journalists at The State News tried to unravel those questions and more. This audio adaptation was produced as part of an independent study with Professor Jon Whiting at the Michigan State University School of Journalism. It was written, recorded, and edited by Alex Walters.It is based on a story he reported with his colleague, Theo Scheer, at The State News, Michigan State University’s independent student newspaper. That story was edited by their colleagues Amalia Medina and Owen McCarthy. It’s available to read at StateNews.com.
