This campaign season, I worked for Bruce Davis. Bruce Davis was the Democratic candidate chosen in the primary to run for House of Representatives in the Thirteen District in North Carolina. This campaign season was not a traditional one in comparison to what I’ve studied of past campaign’s. Our world has changed with the creation of social media and campaign’s have changed with it. In our campaign we had to look harder to find a proper strategy for using social media to are advantage and think outside the box. Bruce Davis chose to give his intern’s and his staff free reign to come up with ideas to move our campaign into modern times. These ideas will be discussed throughout this paper. I will discuss my personal experience, which was an

The 1992 and 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections were two of the most famously negative campaigns in history and share multiple similarities despite being separated by twenty years. In 1992, incumbent President George H.W. Bush was seeking reelection against Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, while the 2012 general election saw incumbent President Barack Obama seeking reelection against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The campaigns of both incumbent presidents incorporated heavy use of television attack advertisements in the attempt to improve their political image, discredit their opponent, and win reelection.

According to Gosnell, William Mckinley won a significant number of votes from lower and middle class members because of the amount of Republican propaganda his campaign used. Mckinley supported by upper class members had more capital to campaign and was able to reach a broader audience. Candidate Bryan was only able to reach a small portion of the masses (Gosnell, 131). William Bryan was not given any money by Democratic politicians or newspapers, he had to take the train and was known as a tireless speaker. Mckinley on the other hand made speeches from his front porch in Canton, where aided by his campaign manager Hanna was able to draw in contributions (McSeveney, 177). In Shephard’s article, it is pointed out that Hanna offered free and discounted fares to Mckinley’s speeches. Gosnell suggests that the race might have gone differently if Bryan had funds as his Republican counterpart. However according to another source, Bryan did receive lots of media coverage through his speeches and was able to convey his message to voters (Harpine, 292).

Over the years Campaigning in the U.S. has changed drastically because of technological advances, the internet, social media, and the real-time information sharing across the globe. One study suggest that over the years, examining 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012, political advertising has become more negative. The Wesleyan Media Project’s charts states and 2004 election 45 percent of the ads were negative, where in 2012 about 65 percent of the ads were negative.1 There are many speculations on why these negative ads are increasing with every election, but one fact is that campaigns can use negativity to bring attention to a certain topic and sometimes benefit from the free media coverage if the controversy is popular enough.

There are many types of communication that are often utilized when a president wishes to do so. Today, these range from giving speeches to using television and internet to spread ideas. However, when Truman took office in 1945 and became the first president to have a speech televised, the most popular ways to communicate were in-person and through newspapers and radio. Though, Truman did at times make use of the television, he more often utilized the same types of communication that his predecessors before him had used – preferring to speak to the public through the radio rather than through the television.

Television has been influential in United States presidential elections since the 1960’s. But just what is this influence, and how has it affected who is elected? Has it made elections fairer and more accessible, or has it moved candidates from pursuing issues to pursuing image? The media only impacts the American Society, especially for the presidential election as it increases the talks in politics and gives the president a higher role to follow. The television race captures more popularity than what a citizen is actually voting for.

Doing so brings about a great deal of trust. The State of the Union Address is a great chance for any president to connect with the people. Clinton’s MTV saxophone playing was a great way for him to connect to America’s youth, and helped him win the election. FDR’s famous fireside chats helped him connect with the people.

Television is a form of communication that can be used to transfer information to the general public, and its full value and effects can be seen at all times, especially during election seasons.

However, this positive influence could distract people from focusing on policy and turn the election into a popularity contest.

The invention of the television has had an impact on all aspects of American's lives. It has affected how we work, interact with others, and our foreign relations. One part of American society that it has especially affected is presidential elections. Television has impacted who is elected and why they were elected. Since the 1960's television has served as a link between the American public and presidential elections that allows the candidate to appear more human and accountable for their actions; consequently this has made television a positive influence on presidential elections. But it has also had a negative affect on elections, making presidential candidates seem like celebrities at times and making it easier to publicize mistakes
