  • The Misrepresented Road to Madame President: Media Coverage of Female Candidates for National Office
    THE MISREPRESENTED ROAD TO MADAME PRESIDENT: MEDIA COVERAGE OF FEMALE CANDIDATES FOR NATIONAL OFFICE by Jessica Pinckney A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland May, 2015 © 2015 Jessica Pinckney All Rights Reserved Abstract While women represent over fifty percent of the U.S. population, it is blatantly clear that they are not as equally represented in leadership positions in the government and in private institutions. Despite their representation throughout the nation, women only make up twenty percent of the House and Senate. That is far from a representative number and something that really hurts our society as a whole. While these inequalities exist, they are perpetuated by the world in which we live, where the media plays a heavy role in molding peoples’ opinions, both consciously and subconsciously. The way in which the media presents news about women is not always representative of the women themselves and influences public opinion a great deal, which can also affect women’s ability to rise to the top, thereby breaking the ultimate glass ceilings. This research looks at a number of cases in which female politicians ran for and/or were elected to political positions at the national level (President, Vice President, and Congress) and seeks to look at the progress, or lack thereof, in media’s portrayal of female candidates running for office. The overarching goal of the research is to simply show examples of biased and unbiased coverage and address the negative or positive ways in which that coverage influences the candidate.

  • FAKE NEWS!”: President Trump’S Campaign Against the Media on @Realdonaldtrump and Reactions to It on Twitter
    “FAKE NEWS!”: President Trump’s Campaign Against the Media on @realdonaldtrump and Reactions To It on Twitter A PEORIA Project White Paper Michael Cornfield GWU Graduate School of Political Management [email protected] April 10, 2019 This report was made possible by a generous grant from William Madway. SUMMARY: This white paper examines President Trump’s campaign to fan distrust of the news media (Fox News excepted) through his tweeting of the phrase “Fake News (Media).” The report identifies and illustrates eight delegitimation techniques found in the twenty-five most retweeted Trump tweets containing that phrase between January 1, 2017 and August 31, 2018. The report also looks at direct responses and public reactions to those tweets, as found respectively on the comment thread at @realdonaldtrump and in random samples (N = 2500) of US computer-based tweets containing the term on the days in that time period of his most retweeted “Fake News” tweets. Along with the high percentage of retweets built into this search, the sample exhibits techniques and patterns of response which are identified and illustrated. The main findings: ● The term “fake news” emerged in public usage in October 2016 to describe hoaxes, rumors, and false alarms, primarily in connection with the Trump-Clinton presidential contest and its electoral result. ● President-elect Trump adopted the term, intensified it into “Fake News,” and directed it at “Fake News Media” starting in December 2016-January 2017. 1 ● Subsequently, the term has been used on Twitter largely in relation to Trump tweets that deploy it. In other words, “Fake News” rarely appears on Twitter referring to something other than what Trump is tweeting about.

  • Trump, Twitter, and the Russians: the Growing Obsolescence of Federal Campaign Finance Law
    3. FINAL GAUGHAN (DO NOT DELETE) 2/27/2018 5:43 PM TRUMP, TWITTER, AND THE RUSSIANS: THE GROWING OBSOLESCENCE OF FEDERAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAW ANTHONY J. GAUGHAN* I. INTRODUCTION The 2016 presidential campaign defied the conventional wisdom in virtually every regard. Donald Trump’s surprise victory disproved the polls and embarrassed the pundits in the biggest election upset since the 1948 Truman-Dewey race.1 But the 2016 election was more than a political earthquake. The campaign also made it starkly apparent that federal campaign finance law has become woefully outdated in the age of the internet, social media, and non-stop fundraising. A vestige of the post- Watergate reforms of the 1970s, the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”) no longer adequately regulates the campaign finance world of twenty-first century American politics. The time has come for a sweeping reform and restructuring of the law. Since FECA’s adoption in the 1970s, federal campaign finance law has been built on four pillars. The first is contribution limits on donations to candidate campaigns and political party committees. Contribution limits are designed to reduce the role of money in politics by preventing large donors from corrupting elected officials. The second is the ban on foreign contributions to American political campaigns. The prohibition is intended to prevent foreign influence on American elections and to ensure that * Professor of Law, Drake University Law School; J.D.

    LEWIS, HUGHES, SEGAL, GREER | PROGRAM ON EXTREMISM & ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE WHITE SUPREMACIST TERROR: MODERNIZING OUR APPROACH TO TODAY’S THREAT 1 | Page LEWIS, HUGHES, SEGAL, GREER | PROGRAM ON EXTREMISM & ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE About the Program on Extremism The Program on Extremism at George Washington University provides analysis on issues related to violent and non-violent extremism. The Program spearheads innovative and thoughtful academic inquiry, producing empirical work that strengthens extremism research as a distinct field of study. The Program aims to develop pragmatic policy solutions that resonate with policymakers, civic leaders, and the general public. About the Center on Extremism at the Anti-Defamation League ADL’s Center on Extremism (COE) is the agency’s research and investigative arm, and a clearinghouse of valuable, up-to-the minute information about extremism of all types— from white supremacists to Islamic extremists. For decades, COE analysts have tracked extremist activity in the U.S. and abroad, assisted law enforcement with countless investigations, and helped disrupt and prevent multiple terror attacks. Their law enforcement trainings provide officers with the information they need to protect our country—and themselves—against extremist violence.

  • Stuart Stevens, Romney's Chief Strategist and Svengali, Was Driving to Oxford on a Warm Evening in Late April
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D-80, September 2013 Did Twitter Kill the Boys on the Bus? Searching for a better way to cover a campaign By Peter Hamby Shorenstein Center Fellow, Spring 2013 CNN Political Reporter Research Assistant: Karly Schledwitz Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. Stuart’s lament Stuart Stevens, Romney’s chief strategist and all-purpose svengali, was driving to Oxford on a warm evening in late April. A sixth-generation Mississippian whose first job in politics was an internship for then-congressman Thad Cochran in the 1970s, Stevens had just flown in from Los Angeles, where he is developing a television project for HBO, to appear on yet another panel looking back on the 2012 campaign. The latest one was being hosted by an old pal, the reporter and author Curtis Wilkie, a veteran of eight presidential campaigns who now teaches journalism at the University of Mississippi. Stevens has never been shy about discussing—or decrying—the state of the political news media. Almost every reporter who covered the 2012 race can recall waking up to find a late-night email from Stevens bemoaning a story, or tweet, about Romney. A number of his compatriots on the Romney campaign, including communications director Gail Gitcho, spokeswoman Andrea Saul, and Deputy Campaign Manager Katie Packer Gage, were also known to fire off barbed emails to reporters about tweets they saw as silly or unfair. Stevens’ missives were often more whimsical or esoteric than mean, but it was clear he harbored some deep resentments about the press and its treatment of his candidate.

  • H-Diplo | ISSF Policy Series America and the World—The Effects of the Trump Presidency
    H-Diplo | ISSF Policy Series America and the World—The Effects of the Trump Presidency Donald Trump and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Deal Essay by Susan Colbourn, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Published on 18 May 2021 | issforum.org Editor: Diane Labrosse | Production Editor: George Fujii https://issforum.org/to/ps2021-31 Donald Trump’s disdain for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is no secret. Since launching his presidential bid in June 2015, he has offered up memorable soundbites and caustic tweets, touching off a steady parade of transatlantic tizzies. On the campaign trail in 2016, the reality television star-turned-Republican presidential candidate famously lambasted the Atlantic Alliance as “obsolete.”1 Once in office, the hits kept coming. After months of will-he, won’t-he speculation about whether or not Trump would endorse Article V, the guarantee at the heart of the North Atlantic Treaty, aides indicated that he would finally do so in a high-profile speech at NATO Headquarters in May 2017 to dedicate a new September 11 monument. Instead, at the allied gathering, Trump turned on his fellow leaders, berating them and, at one point, pushing past Dusko Markovic, the prime minister of Montenegro. “You’re a world leader at a meeting of dignitaries and you act like they just called your number at KFC,” late night host Seth Meyers joked of the incident. “Me, 2 that’s mine, the 12 piece.”1F In July 2018, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, Trump cast yet more doubt on his commitment to Article V.
