    SPEAKER 1: Please take your seats now, and join me in welcoming tonight's guests and director of the Institute of Politics, Mark D. Gearan. MARK GEARAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to tonight's forum. We have an extraordinary group of colleagues here to discuss campaign 2020. And it's about time we do that right here at the Institute of Politics. So we've put together a great panel of those-- some who have been former fellows here, and those who know politics well, Republicans and Democrats, strategists that will really animate tonight's discussion. We start with Robby Mook with Scott Jennings here. Scott is a former resident fellow, and Robby is a visiting fellow here. They both teamed up, and they teach a course here at the Kennedy School on their perspective from having run Hillary Clinton's campaign to a Republican strategist and close advisor to Majority Leader McConnell. Really provide a great perspective. Reggie Hubbard joins us here as a strategist, Democratic strategist and grassroots strategist with Move On, and having served in the Obama-Biden world, and Sanders. So we welcome you and Alice Stewart, who has long and deep experience in Republican politics, from Senator Santorum and Governor Romney and Michele Bachman and loads of good campaigns. And of course, many of them are known to you from their commentary on CNN as analysts. And the perfect person to moderate this is our own senior fellow here at the Institute of Politics, Dan Balz, who, of course, is the chief correspondent for the Washington Post, who has covered every campaign, presidential campaign for several, several cycles, and brings his deep experience to that.

  • Is That Source Credible? a Model of Source Credibility in Politics
    Is That Source Credible? A Model of Source Credibility in Politics Adam Ozer A dissertation submitted to the department of Political Science in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Chair of Committee: Beth Simas Committee Member: Scott Clifford Committee Member: Scott Basinger Committee Member: Jason Barabas University of Houston May 2020 i Dedication To Beka, the ever-supportive love of my life. To my parents, for their unyielding love and support. To Beth, a patient mentor, my personal role model, and a valued friend. To myself, for never falling out of love with what I do. ii Abstract Using low information rationality, citizens can address their own lack of political knowledge by turning to elite experts with more detailed policy knowledge to help interpret and economize information. However, citizens must navigate a political media environment that is oversaturated with unqualified sources and competing heuristic cues. This has led some scholars to question whether individuals are willing or able to utilize low-information rationality effectively. Much prior work focuses on partisan motivated reasoning, asserting that the influence of partisanship overwhelms that of other relevant informational cues. This is refuted by a relatively smaller subset of works, finding that the influence of partisanship is often diminished by contextual cues. I address this debate with two experimental designs that place source cues in a competing context by simultaneously manipulating expertise-related source credibility cues and partisan cues. Findings suggest that the influence of partisan cues does not overwhelm competing source credibility cues. Instead, individuals do take source expertise and credibility into account, even when confronted with competing partisan source cues.
