Experts in the Media: Before Kickoff Media Went to the Experts at TCU for Some Super Bowl Insight

The lead up to last Sunday's Super Bowl was tremendous.  All eyes and an enormous global audience were all fixated on the big game in New Orleans.

With the Kansas City Chiefs looking to make history, the Philadelphia Eagles looking for revenge and with President Trump and Taylor Swift in attendance - the attention from media was overwhelming.

When Newsweek needed some expert insight and perspective - they connected immediately with TCU's Dustin Hahn.

Last year's Super Bowl LVIII ranked as the most-watched Super Bowl of all time, according to findings from Nielsen's National panel measurement.

Dr. Dustin Hahn, associate professor of film, television and digital media in the Bob Schieffer College of Communication at Texas Christian University, told Newsweek the Super Bowl could see a decline in viewership because fans are tired of seeing the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Plus, excitement about Taylor Swift's relationship with Chief's tight end Travis Kelce is less novel.

However, Hahn said it's possible more people will be watching the Super Bowl to see if the Chiefs make history by winning the championship three times in a row, plus the possibility that Kelce could make a retirement announcement. February 09 - Newsweek
