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

  • CALENDAR 2022 Senate Overview: No Margin for Error
    This issue brought to you by 2022 Senate Overview: No Margin for Error By Nathan L. Gonzales & Jacob Rubashkin APRIL 1, 2021 VOLUME 5, NO. 7 The country and Capitol Hill are so divided that Republicans and Democrats can’t agree on what to have for lunch on any particular day. But there’s one thing providing consensus: control of the Senate is on the 2022 Senate Ratings line in 2022. BATTLEGROUND Considering the Senate is currently divided 50-50, that’s not exactly a bold prediction. Yet in the middle of the day-to-day grind of politics, the Democratic-Held (4) Republican-Held (4) obvious can go unnoticed. And it’s a reminder that literally every seat Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) NC Open (Burr, R) matters in the fight for the Senate. Hassan (D-N.H.) PA Open (Toomey, R) Since the beginning of the year, three more Republican senators Kelly (D-Ariz.) Johnson (R-Wisc.) announced that they will not seek re-election, for a total of five. But those Warnock (D-Ga.) Rubio (R-Fl.) decisions didn’t alter the size or shape of the initial Senate battleground. Both parties have four states that look initially vulnerable. Democrats Solid Democratic (10) Solid Republican (16) are on defense in Georgia, Arizona, New Hampshire, and Nevada while Bennet (D-Colo.) AL Open (Shelby, R) Republicans are defending Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Blumenthal (D-Conn.) MO Open (Blunt, R) and Florida. Newly open seats in Missouri and Ohio could develop Duckworth (D-Ill.) OH Open (Portman, R) into Democratic opportunities, but considering President Donald Leahy (D-Vt.) Boozman (R-Ark.) Trump’s wide margins in each state and the strong correlation between Murray (D-Wash.) Crapo (R-Idaho) presidential results and Senate outcomes, Democrats have a lot to prove Padilla (D-Calif.) Grassley (R-Iowa) that those are serious opportunities.

  • The Oxygen of Amplification Better Practices for Reporting on Extremists, Antagonists, and Manipulators Online
    The Oxygen of Amplification Better Practices for Reporting on Extremists, Antagonists, and Manipulators Online By Whitney Phillips EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MAPPING THE MEDIA ECOSYSTEM We live in a time where new forms of power are emerging, where social and digital media are being leveraged to reconfigure the information landscape. This new domain requires journalists to take what they know about abuses of power and media manipulation in traditional information ecosystems and apply that knowledge to networked actors, such as white nationalist networks online. These actors create new journalistic stumbling blocks that transcend attempts to manipulate reporters solely to spin a beneficial narrative – which reporters are trained to decode – and instead represent a larger effort focused on spreading hateful ideology and other false and misleading narratives, with news coverage itself harnessed to fuel hate, confusion, and discord. The choices reporters and editors make about what to cover and how to cover it play a key part in regulating the amount of oxygen supplied to the falsehoods, antagonisms, and manipulations that threaten to overrun the contemporary media ecosystem—and, simultaneously, threaten to undermine democratic discourse more broadly. This context demands that journalists and the newsrooms that support them examine with greater scrutiny how these actors and movements endeavor to subvert journalism norms, practices, and objectives. More importantly, journalists, editors, and publishers must determine how the journalistic rule set must be strengthened and fortified against this newest form of journalistic manipulation—in some cases through the rigorous upholding of long-standing journalistic principles, and in others, by recognizing which practices and structural limitations make reporters particularly vulnerable to manipulation.
