    FOR RELEASE Contact: Amy Ray JANUARY 29, 2005 (310) 429-9694 JIM ALDINGER 2005 CAMPAIGN KICKOFF TURNS OUT SUPPORTERS, BEGINS OFFICIAL BID FOR RE-ELECTION TO MANHATTAN BEACH CITY COUNCIL State Assemblyman Gordon, Former State Assemblyman Nakano Join Councilman Napolitano in Celebrating Aldinger’s Experience and Proven Leadership Manhattan Beach, Calif., Jan. 29 – Manhattan Beach City Councilman Jim Aldinger began his bid for re-election Saturday morning to the sounds of a live band and a crowd of supporters at the City’s Joslyn Center. Aldinger is one of eleven candidates vying for Manhattan Beach’s three open City Council positions, and is the only incumbent to be considered by voters in the March 8 election. Approximately sixty residents of Manhattan Beach and neighboring communities enjoyed a morning of live bluegrass music, refreshments, campaign button making, and speeches from three area government officials. State Assemblyman and former El Segundo Mayor Mike Gordon joined three-term Manhattan Beach Councilman Steve Napolitano and former State Assemblyman George Nakano in endorsing Aldinger’s record of service and his commitment to the community, urging attendees to contribute their time and donations to Aldinger’s re-election. “Jim Aldinger is a proven leader with experience as both Mayor and Councilman. Jim’s dedication to public service, the community, and the environment in Manhattan Beach is unrivaled – you need Jim back as your Councilman,” commented State Assemblyman Gordon during presentations by dignitaries and Aldinger at the hour-long rally. Aldinger has worked closely with Assemblyman Gordon in his previous role as Mayor of El Segundo, on such vital regional issues as LAX Expansion and the pending Base Relocation and Closure (BRAC) issue facing the Los Angeles Air Force Base in 2005.

  • Instagram and an Indonesian Ideal Leader
    Proceedings of SOCIOINT 2019- 6th International Conference on Education, Social Sciences and Humanities 24-26 June 2019- Istanbul, Turkey INSTAGRAM AND AN INDONESIAN IDEAL LEADER Wahyu Eka Putri1, Eriyanto2* 1S.KPm., Department of Communication Science, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Indonesia, Indonesia, [email protected] 2Dr.,M.Si, Department of Communication Science, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Indonesia, Indonesia, [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract This article explores Indonesian elected president activities on Instagram during the 2019 election. Instagram create new ways to market political campaigns through the displayed images and new channels for candidates and voters to interact. Self-framing displayed enable to present identifiable image for candidates. To explore the role that images play in framing political character and to identify which images received higher levels of engagement, content analyses were performed on candidates’ Instagram account. Political framing identification uses the potential frames character that had previously been carried by Grabe dan Bucy. Grab and Bucy identify images used in the campaign to create a particular political character. The purpose of this study is to describe the representation of Indonesian ideal leader on instagram by using multimodal analysis to understand how Instagram images convey meaning that helps to create those frames. This research concludes with a discussion of the utility of multimodal analysis in understanding campaign images that support the created framing characters. As a candidate, Joko Widodo most frequently employes the ideal candidate frame with subdimensions of statesmanship and compassion. Joko Widodo, as an incumbent candidate, does not show his achievements or symbol of progress as a campaign tool in his image.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

  • California's Top-Two Primary
    California's Top-two Primary: A Successful Reform I Charles T. Munger, Jr. (Dated: February 22, 2019) This is the first of three concurrent papers on California's top-two primary, California's Top-two Primary: A Successful Reform I, II, and III; this abstract covers all three. A common summary of the conclusions of all three papers appears in III, section VI. The top-two primary yielded 80 same-party general elections in California, for the Assembly, state Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives combined, in the general elections of 2012, 2014, and 2016. Of these same-party district elections, 22 saw the re-election of incumbents running against a token opponent of their own party. The remaining 58 were highly competitive: a total of $205 million was spent in those contests; 10 incumbents were defeated. In contrast, over the not three but five election cycles from 2002 to 2010, when there were partisan primaries, an incumbent lost to a member of his own party in 1 race for the Assembly, 1 race for the state Senate, and 1 race for the U.S. House, for a decade total of 3. Of the 58 competitive same-party elections, the candidate who took second in the primary, and who would have been eliminated from the general election ballot in a system of partisan primaries, actually won 20 (34%). The number of voters who cast a ballot in these 80 same-party general elections was essentially double (1:9 times) the number who cast a ballot in the same election in the primary.
