What has been tried? mail-in ballots early voting extending polling hours interest groups rock the vote - we will What other ideas are there? Consider: Do we want everyone to vote for the sake of voting? Should there be a political competency test?

7 History of Media in Politics
Evolution of Advertisements Combination of print, television, and web advertisements Way to get the candidate in front of more people for name/face recognition

8 Campaign coverage empowers the electorate
-the electorate (voters) are informed about the candidates’ stances on issues. -Television and social media are the two main sources of campaign information for all demographics.(Pew) -Media attention on the election initially engages the electorate….but election fatigue can be a detriment.

9 Where the public learns about the candidates
Cable news more than local TV Internet and nightly news networks tied Morning news and talk radio still lead

10 Age determines source of the news
18-29: 28% cable news 29% the internet 15% late night comedy 50-64” 39% cable news 37% local tv/nightly news

11 Partisan cable leanings
Republicans go to Fox Democrats go to CNN Independents lean toward Fox

12 Issue Ads John Kasich - Jobs Ted Cruz - Smaller Government
Bernie Sanders - Leadership Hillary Clinton - Fighting for You Hillary Clinton - Immigration Donald Trump - Economy Donald Trump - Tax Cut

13 Attack Ads Colbert SuperPAC Cruz - Rubio = Republican Obama
Romney - Obama Against Success Hillary Clinton - Role Models Hillary Clinton - Mirrors Donald Trump - Clinton’s American Economy Donald Trump - Clinton's rigged system Donald Trump - General attack

14 Characteristics Used - You will have to use at least 3 of these...
Music Symbols Slogan Endorsement → by the candidate or by others **Demographics targeted **Connection to campaign platform Quotes, citations, reputable outside sources

15 Social Media

16 Social Media favors sound bites, not depth
Eg: “Put up a wall”; “kick out the Muslims” Victims: Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton in 2008

17 Media vs. Social Media SOCIAL MEDIA Favors sound-bites
Content created by anyone -misinformation possible -broadly accessible (think uneducated) - “interesting” content may get more exposure, distorting what is important MEDIA -profit-motive: headlines -some with political agenda -subject to campaign laws eg: equal time

18 •You are to create one campaign ad between 30sec-2min
•An attack ad against a fellow candidate’s issues (so talk to people and find out what their platform stands for) OR •An issue ad, something your candidate believes strongly in •Upload to youtube and provide me with the link Student Ad Examples: Libertarian - Preserve Freedom Democrats - Health Care Democrats - Gun Control Green Party - 3 planks

19 Today You have the remainder of class to begin drafting and talking to other candidates about your campaign advertisement. Be sure to read the rubric to make sure you have all necessary aspects covered
