Nir & Rupar: The art of the clip

How Aaron Rupar, maestro of the viral news clip, makes it all happen

On the latest edition of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot asks co-host Aaron Rupar of Public Notice all about the work that has made Aaron’s social media accounts an essential follow: clipping must-watch news segments that offer an unfiltered window onto American politics.

Aaron tells us:

  • How he got started clipping and his experience with his first viral clip.

  • How he actually goes about the process of finding worthy clips, including the software he uses and the big monitor that feeds him multiple TV stations at once.

  • How he stays sane watching Donald Trump all day long.

And much more!
