  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

Back in April, I drove down to Washington, DC, and had a strategy meeting with Lt Col Ray Stewart, President, Vietnam Tankers Historical Foundation. Ray and Update I wanted to meet face-to-face to hammer out some organization directional issues and to set some mutual goals for the future. Our members should be aware that when you are a member of the USMC VTA you are also a member of the Vietnam Tankers Historical Foundation. We are beginning to see an increase in activity with the historical aspects of our organization. We are sending out a call for more and more of our members to get involved in recording the story of your time in-country before checking into the “The Big Tank Park in the Sky.” We have already lost several members and with their passing so goes their unique personal history of their Vietnam combat experience. You should be aware that we plan to have a professional interviewer from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation at our Charleston reunion and he will conduct personal interview sessions with those of you who would like share your stories.

  • Don't Tread on Me: Analyzing the Effects of the Tea Party on Voting
    Don’t Tread on Me: Analyzing the Effects of the Tea Party on Voting Patterns of House Democrats Nicole DeMont Department of Communication Stanford University Advisor: Shanto Iyengar June 4, 2014 Abstract: The Tea Party reached its peak during the 2010 midterm elections and helped propel Republicans into the House of Representatives. While commentary has focused on the Republican Party’s shift to the right in response to the Tea Party movement, this paper examines the Tea Party’s influence on the Democratic Party. Using Washington Post data on party voting, I find that Democrats who beat Tea Party candidates in competitive races are 6.5 percent more likely to vote with the Democratic Party in the congressional session following the 2010 midterm election. This brings the likelihood of voting with the Party up to 89.4 percent on any given vote, compared to the baseline of 82.9 percent. Possible explanations for this Tea Party effect are presented. Amid the mounting concern over the national debt and the size of the federal government, the Tea Party movement emerged in early 2009. On Tax Day, April 15, 2009, in what would be one of the largest rallies the movement would see, Tea Party protests took place in over 750 cities across the country. President Obama’s proposed healthcare bill only fueled the growth and frustrations of the Tea Party movement. Although the Democratic leadership, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, had originally dismissed the movement, by August 2009 the Democrats were forced to pay attention.

    Supreme Sacrifice, Extraordinary Service: Profiles of SDSU Military Alumni by Robert Fikes, Jr., Librarian San Diego State University San Diego, CA: San Diego State University Library and Information Access, 2013 Contents Preface…...…………………………………………….1 SDSU War Memorial Profiles……………………….3 World War II…………………………………..……4 Korean War……………………………………….65 Vietnam War………………………………………74 Iraq & Afghanistan..………………………….……..97 Non-Combat Casualties…………….…….………100 Generals & Admirals……………………………….105 Outstanding Aztecs…………………………………124 SDSU Military Benchmarks……………….………144 War Memorial Statistics……………….…….…….150 References………………………………………......152 1 Preface This tribute to San Diego State University‟s military alumni started out as one of three sabbatical projects in the fall of 2005 and initially was intended to be a survey of the school‟s contributions to the nation‟s armed forces. The inspiration for attempting this occurred several years earlier when a colleague informed me of letters written by former students serving in the military during World War II to Dr. Lauren Post (right), a popular geography professor and football coach. Post‟s brainchild was a newsletter, the only one of its kind in the nation, that was distributed worldwide and kept this group of alumni in contact with one another and with those left on the home front. It is the often poignant, deliberately understated experiences told in the letters by young men and women, many of whom soon perished, that demands a retelling to this and future generations. Early in the project, I began to investigate the lives of a few of the fallen heroes listed on the university‟s war monument in order to have some examples to cite in an essay, but as I looked closely at the abbreviated life of one deceased person after another the more I became fascinated with each of them as individuals.

    September 1, 2009 Issue 19 New ASVAB Shootin’ up targets policy affects re-testing rules Story and photo by Lance Cpl. Jerrick J. Griffin The Convoy Staff MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – A new policy in ef- fect Sept. 1 gives new rules for Marines who want to retake the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. According to Marine Corps Order 1230.5B, no Marine will be allowed to re- take the ASVAB without permission from his or her command. “Marines used to come and take the ASVAB on their own,” said Pat Jeffress, branch manager for the Joint Education Center here. “It became a problem when some Marines ended up with lower scores and their command didn’t know that they had even retaken the ASVAB.” Under the new order, Marines are only allowed to retest for the following reasons: to meet the score for formal schools, spe- cial duty assignments, and retraining in other Military Occupational Specialties, to Photo by Cpl.
