democracy, and new media. A frequent contributor to Huffington Post, he is also the author over fifty law review articles
and book chapters, as well as author, co-author or editor of eight books, including leading textbooks in administrative law
and separation of powers law. In 2008-09, Peter served as executive director to the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy, and was the lead author of its report, Informing Communities: Sustaining Democracy in the Digital Age (2009).
