Newswise — Kennesaw, GA. -- Kerwin Swint, professor of political science at Kennesaw State University and author “Dark Genius: The Influential Career of Legendary Political Operative and Fox News Founder Roger Ailes,” is available to provide perspective on Ailes’ career and life.

Swint had the foresight to chronicle Ailes’ rise over several decades to becoming a key figure in the growing reach of conservatism ─ first in politics, then in mass media. “Dark Genius” also tracks the rise, dominance, and relevance of political television.

Swint or his work has appeared in national and international media, including CNN, FOX News, the BBC, ABC's "The View," The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, NPR, The Toronto Star, The Daily Mail (UK), National Journal and The Chronicle of Higher Education. He also is the author of three other books, including his most recent, "The King Whisperers: Power Behind the Throne from Rasputin to Rove."

Swint is available at 470-578-6227 (o) or 770-605-0840 (c), or at [email protected]. Read more about Swint at http://www.psia.hss.kennesaw.edu/faculty-staff/kerwin-swint/
