These operations, which require dozens of staffers and strategists, aim to provide citizens with information about a candidate so that they will organize for and contribute to their campaigns. The goal, ultimately, is to encourage voters to choose their preferred candidate on election day. The prize, hopefully, is the candidate’s assumption of the Office of the President of the United States. Since the first presidential elections, communication has played a central role in campaigning. It is, as White House media advisor Bob Mead wrote, the “essence of a political campaign,” allowing a candidate to convey his ideas and visions to voters with the hope that they 1 can trust him, support him and elect him.

  • Winter 2020 All Points Books (PDF)
    20W Macm SMP All Points Let the People Pick the President The Case for Abolishing the Electoral College by Jesse Wegman A radical spirit of change has overtaken American politics, making once- unthinkable reforms - like abolishing the Electoral College - seem possible. Two of the last five elections were won by candidates who lost the popular vote, calling the integrity of the entire electoral system into question. Political passions are already high, and they will reach a boiling point as we enter the 2020 race. The message from the American people is clear: we need major reform, and we need it now. In Let the People Pick the President, New York Times editorial board member Jesse Wegman makes a powerful case for abolishing the antiquated and antidemocratic Electoral College, and choosing presidents based on a national popular vote. He uncovers the Electoral College's controversial origins, profiles the many attempts to reform it over the years, and explains why it is now essential for us to remove this obsolete system and finally make every citizen's vote matter. St. Martin's Press Wegman addresses objections from both sides of the aisle and presents an On Sale: Mar 17/20 airtight argument that moving toward a national popular vote would reduce 6.12 x 9.25 • 272 pages voter apathy and political polarization, increase voter turnout, and restore 9781250221971 • $37.99 • CL - With dust jacket belief in our democratic system.

  • Trump, Celebrity and the Merchant Imaginary
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1057/s41599-018-0177-6 OPEN Trump, celebrity and the merchant imaginary Barry King 1 ABSTRACT This article explores the social ontological basis of Trumpism as a form of populism, historically defined as government by personal rule. For many commentators, the key feature of Trump’s presidency is its fundamental irrationality. The President has variously described as ‘dumb’, ‘greedy’, ‘psychotic’,a‘narcissist’ in the grandiose mode, and an ‘egotist’ unfit for public office. This article does not aim to dissent from these kinds of conclusions but 1234567890():,; suggests that they partake more of the statement of effects or consequences rather than causes. Indeed, if they are considered as causes they lead to confusion, a kind of ‘attention- deficit disorder’ (which, ironically, some accuse the tweeting President of being a sufferer). Rather this paper suggests that a more systematic examination of the President’s persona reveals it as emerging from a conflation of the discourse of the American family and a merchant imaginary. 1 Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand.

  • “Fractures, Alliances, and Mobilizations: Emerging Analyses of the Tea Party Movement”
    Tea Party Conference Proceedings 1 “Fractures, Alliances, and Mobilizations: Emerging Analyses of the Tea Party Movement” A Conference Sponsored by the Center for the Comparative Study of Right-Wing Movements Friday, October 22, 2010 Alumni House, University of California, Berkeley Conference Proceedings Prepared by Rebecca Alexander Welcome and Opening Remarks Lawrence Rosenthal opens the conference by describing the history of the Center for the Comparative Study of Right Wing Movements (CCSRWM) and the impetus behind a conference to study the Tea Party movement. The CCSRWM opened its doors in March of 2009. When work on the center first began, Rosenthal says, many people scoffed at the idea because, with Obama moving in and Bush and the Republicans moving out, they thought concerns about right- wing movements were over. When the Center opened, a couple of months into the Obama presidency, however, nobody was scoffing anymore. The right was louder than ever, becoming the political phenomenon of the year, coalescing into something we struggle today to understand. Rosenthal explains that The Tea Party movement is an extraordinary expression of an American Right that not only did not go away after Obama’s resounding electoral victory, but regrouped and moved further to the right, embracing ideas that American conservatives had rejected years ago and mobilizing a Perot-sized chunk of the electorate. Rosenthal says he is struck by similarities between 1993 and 2008, because in both cases the presidency of an elected Democrat was deemed illegitimate by much of the right. In the first case, right-wing objection to Bill Clinton resulted in impeachment; a phenomenon that Rosenthal suggests may repeat itself in the age of “Birthers” if Republicans win majorities in the House and Senate.

  • The Role of the Media in New Jersey's 2005 and 2009
    THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN NEW JERSEY’S 2005 AND 2009 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS By RICHARD A. LEE A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information and Library Studies written under the direction of Professor Montague Kern And approved by _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN NEW JERSEY’S 2005 AND 2009 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS By RICHARD A. LEE Dissertation Director: Montague Kern During the first decade of the 21st Century, two developments affected the manner in which New Jersey residents obtained news and information about their state. The size of newsroom staffs at the newspapers covering the state was reduced substantially through buyouts, layoffs, cutbacks and consolidations, and the growth of the Internet altered the manner in which news was gathered, reported and disseminated, placing new demands on depleted news staffs. Although neither development was unique to New Jersey, there is a value in exploring their effects on the Garden State because of the role the media play in ensuring a healthy democracy, namely keeping citizens informed and serving as a watchdog over government and other powerful entities. If the media’s ability to fulfill this responsibility is compromised, there could be significant consequences. ii A content analysis of the coverage of New Jersey’s 2005 and 2009 gubernatorial elections, coupled with three sets of interviews with individuals involved in both campaigns, showed that the quality of news coverage declined during this four-year period.

ALLISON M. ARCHER and JOSHUA CLINTON The press is essential for creating an informed citizenry, but its existence depends on attracting and maintaining an audience. It is unclear whether supply-side effects—including those dictated by the owners of the media—influence how the media cover politics, yet this question is essential given their abilities to set the agenda and frame issues that are covered. We examine how ownership influences media behavior by investigating the impact of Rupert Murdoch’s purchase of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in August 2007. We collect data on every front-page story and editorial for 27 months, and we compare the difference in political coverage between the New York Times (NYT) and WSJ using a difference-in-differences design.

  • 2011 State of the News Media Report
    Overview By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. With some notable exceptions, cutbacks in newsrooms eased. And while still more talk than action, some experiments with new revenue models began to show signs of blossoming. Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. The biggest issue ahead may not be lack of audience or even lack of new revenue experiments. It may be that in the digital realm the news industry is no longer in control of its own future. News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. But each technological advance has added a new layer of complexity—and a new set of players—in connecting that content to consumers and advertisers. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. They depend on aggregators (such as Google) and social networks (such as Facebook) to bring them a substantial portion of their audience. And now, as news consumption becomes more mobile, news companies must follow the rules of device makers (such as Apple) and software developers (Google again) to deliver their content.

  • For Presidential Campaigns, Empire State a Haunted House
    For presidential campaigns, Empire State a haunted house http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/04/11/new-... For presidential campaigns, Empire State a haunted house Rick Hampson, USA TODAY 5:58 p.m. EDT April 11, 2016 NEW YORK — Rarely has a presidential primary with so much national importance had so many local favorites as this state’s next week. It’s revived a once-lethal political battlefield that in recent decades had sunk into irrelevance. Bernie Sanders, who grew up in a small rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn, left in search of opportunity, taking a New York attitude and accent with him. (Photo: Seth Wenig, AP) Donald Trump, raised in a wealthy enclave in Queens, stayed in the city but moved to Manhattan, transforming his family’s outer-borough real estate business into a global luxury brand. Hillary Clinton, a middle-class product of suburban Chicago, is a carpetbagger — no great liability here — who came to start her career in electoral politics. She bought a house in an expensive suburb and was elected to the U.S. Senate. Polls show Clinton with a solid lead over Sanders in the Democratic primary. Among the Republicans, Trump has a big advantage over Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has been explaining what he meant by his January GOP debate crack about "New York values.''
