In a 2016 interview, DiSalvo related his experiences as a participant in public dialogue:
"Writing for the public sphere and exposing your ideas to public scrutiny can have more effect than peer review", said Daniel DiSalvo, a City College of New York political scientist and Manhattan Institute fellow. "Academics needs to test their ideas in a hard hitting, fast moving media environment, as your research may be enough for news but not enough for peer review. The resulting reactions can advance your scholarly agenda".
