  • 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 ....................................................................................................................

  • Sarah Trahern Tell It
    Taking It Sarah All In Trahern eading the industry’s preeminent trade organization is the best job in the business, to hear Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern tell it. After a career in television culminating at the helm of GAC, LTrahern took the reins at CMA in January 2014. From telling icons they’re going into the Country Music Hall of Fame to hanging out in the cheap seats, Trahern loves directing a growing staff in sharing the country music gospel. And from her vantage point, the news is defi nitely good. Country Aircheck: You’re two-and-a-half years in and going into your third CMA Music Festival. Anything about the job surprise you? Sarah Trahern: Two things surprised me. Most people think of CMA for our tent poles – the awards show, Music Fest and the Christmas TV show. I’ve had people say to me, “It’s got to be really slow in July or August or January.” But there is a constant sea of things fi lling in those times. Our research efforts, marketing internationally and representing the country music business happens 365 days a year. The other thing that surprised me was just how amazing our staff is. For such a small group – 47, 48 people – we execute so many things internally. We staff up for the big events, but we do a lot and have high caliber people. What have you learned? The challenge and the excitement is in representing 7,300 CMA members while taking ideas and inspiration from a board of 88.
