Our speakers will discuss topics including: What steps can business take to help restore trust in our institutions and our democracy? How do companies and communicators work in an environment where there are no sidelines and every utterance is subject to criticism through a political lens? How do we anticipate and minimize issues that will divide customers and shareholders? How do we handle them once they have become politicized? What will the likely impact of the midterms be for communicators in this red hot environment? What do we need to do differently? What are the unique challenges and best practices for publicly traded companies?

  • 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.

  • Statement of Brian Karem
    STATEMENT OF BRIAN KAREM I write to provide you with background about myself and to tell you my side of the story regarding what happened at the Social Media Summit on July 11, 2019. I have been a political reporter for almost 40 years. I have also covered crime and wars, and I have run community newspapers. I’ve been jailed, shot at, beaten, and threatened. I am currently Playboy’s senior White House correspondent and a political analyst for CNN. I am president of the Maryland, Delaware, and District of Columbia Press Association. In 1990, I was jailed for contempt of court after refusing to disclose the name of confidential sources who helped me arrange a telephone interview with a jailed murder suspect, after which I was awarded the National Press Club’s Freedom of the Press award. I went on to work as executive editor of The Sentinel Newspapers in Maryland and as producer and television correspondent for America’s Most Wanted. I have also authored seven books. I have covered six White Houses. While I have held my current hard pass since last year, in the past I also held hard passes. My experience in the White House is important because I can tell you, point blank, that the behavior of the press corps today is tame by comparison. The first time I walked into the White House I was 25. It was 1986 and Ronald Reagan was president. The first person I met was Helen Thomas, who covered the White House under ten Presidents, and who, as it turns out, knew my great grandfather from Lebanon.

In The Ravenmaster, he lets us in on his life as he feeds his birds raw meat and biscuits soaked in blood, buys their food at Smithfield Market, and ensures that these unusual, misunderstood, and utterly brilliant corvids are healthy, happy, and ready to captivate the four million tourists who flock to the Tower every year.

  • Obamacare, the News Media, and the Politics of 21St-Century Presidential Communication
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 1275–1299 1932–8036/20150005 Obamacare, the News Media, and the Politics of 21st-Century Presidential Communication JENNIFER HOPPER1 Washington College, USA Studies of presidential framing and the media lead to contrary expectations of whether the president would be able to reframe a pejorative name for a major legislative achievement and alter its news coverage. The case of President Obama and the use of the term “Obamacare” to refer to the Affordable Care Act requires rethinking what we know about presidential communication strategies and contemporary news norms. Obama’s embrace of the Obamacare moniker spread among supporters and led to its appearance with more positive/neutral depictions of the policy in the media. The term also has become more prominent in the news over time, raising questions about loosening standards of news objectivity and the future of this contested term. Keywords: presidency, news media, Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, presidential communication U.S. presidents face formidable challenges in attempting to frame policies and shape political debates, particularly in the 21st-century media environment. Given that presidential attempts to positively frame their positions for the media and the public require substantial time and effort with no guarantee of success, working to co-opt and reframe the established language of the president’s opponents is an even more daunting project. Yet this is precisely the endeavor President Barack Obama and his surrogates embarked on in late March 2012, when they embraced the term “Obamacare” and sought to use it in service of promoting and defending the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.

  • Anthony Scaramucci Former Director of Communications, President Donald Trump Media Masters – April 27, 2018 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Anthony Scaramucci Former Director of Communications, President Donald Trump Media Masters – April 27, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m here in New York City and joined by Anthony Scaramucci, financier, entrepreneur and former White House communications director to President Donald Trump. Anthony spent much of his career in investment banking, leaving Goldman Sachs in 1996 to start his own ventures, and in 2005 founded the global investment firm SkyBridge Capital. A consistent and vocal support of the President since well before the election, Anthony began his role in the Trump administration in July last year, but just under a fortnight later, and very memorably, he was out. Among his other activities, he’s currently writing a book, which is set to come out this September. Anthony, thank you for joining me. It’s a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much, Paul. So what are you up to now, then? Because I keep seeing you pop up on Fox News defending the President. I know that you’ve got the Scaramucci Post, and various other ventures. Paint a picture of what you’re actually up to at the moment. I’m back at SkyBridge, actually. So I’m back with my partners at SkyBridge. As you mentioned, we started that firm in 2005, and so the senior management there has a 13-year track record of working together. Business is in great shape, we had great performance last year, which is a sign of my total dispensability, and I’m very excited about the future.
