Recommended: The influence of media in politics

I have watched four different commercial videos of Obama and Romney from 2012 Presidential Election, and created an analysis of them that how media influence politics, especially political campaigns. We will understanding of how political commercial campaigns work and how they develop them to influence certain social groups. The commercials I chose for Obama were “Go” and “The Choice.” Both videos are very popular in the website and I think they helped Obama campaign a lot. In the videos, we all clearly know the word “forward” is the slogan of Obama in 2012 election since it is large and be presented in the end so that can catch viewers eyes and remember it. In “Go,” the beginning images of the video provide some news about the problems of

    While Eisenhower appeared in his own TV ads, Adlai Stevenson did not; he was the only candidate to not appear in his own ads. His advertisements were a bit more animated than those of Eisenhower; they often featured cartoons or short, catchy jingles. Because of the fact that Eisenhower was the better known candidate, Stevenson also made sure to get his name out there by putting his name in his own advertisements. He portrayed himself as a good, honest man that represented all American people, while he simultaneously implied that Eisenhower was a man that could not be trusted and did not care about the American

  • Campaigns and Elections

    2204 Words  | 5 Pages

    Political campaigns are very significant in American politics and elections. It is the period before the electorate makes political decisions in the form of elections. The attention of the citizens towards politics intensifies as the date of the elections draws near. The salience of voters improves as the election date draws near and could manifest in the form of increased media attention. Political discussions, campaign interest, strength of the intention to vote, and knowledge about the candidates are other manifestations of increased salience of voters. Another indication of improved intensity is the effort put by the candidates and their political parties in the campaigns. Parties increase their efforts in the campaign by increasing the funds disbursed for the campaign such as increasing the amount of TV advertisement (Brady, Johnston, & Sides, 2007). The increase may also be a result of redistribution of the overall campaign amount, which increases the effect of the campaign to the media and some voters.

    Individuals may believe this new exposure of political debates and facts about the candidates would help the public make an educated decision of their president. However, all of that television has done is turn the presidential debates into a popularity contest. Elections were based on image, charm and how the networks wish to have the candidates perceived. Televisions’ contribution to political debates only emphasized personality, visual image and emotion rather than ideas, issues and reason.

    Barrack Obama’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries is attributed to many different reasons, some of which are more complicated than others. These reasons range from racial and gender biases to the inefficiencies of Clinton’s campaign, and Obama’s strategic use of resources. Hillary Clinton was a natural choice for nomination due to her political background, name recognition, and heavy funding, however perhaps she started out her campaign a little too confidently, and as a result, inadvertently let Obama take the lead.1 Obama certainly lacked any sort of name recognition, but the reason his campaign snowballed is simply because he had a more appealing angle.2 Obama was the man the American people

  • Politics and Television Commercials: A Changed Perception

    511 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Postman’s argument, he describes the way in which politics’ perception has changed. Instead of politics being seen as connected to legitimate arguments, it is seen as being shaped and influenced more by external societal factors and images, especially by those found in television commercials. Similar to how a business works, politics has become linked with capitalistic ideals through the presence of television commercials in order to give viewers a sense of value and identity. As a result, both commercial and political advertising influences the public more through instant images that arise our immediate emotions than through actual claims or propositions. Therefore, people look at politics and politicians as a source of amusement instead of sources knowledge to better understand political issues and

  • Analysis Of Anger Vs. Mildness

    Kaid (2004) noted that the use of political advertising in the United States carries the commercial coloration as a “promotional device whose use is dependent upon the market economy and the right and ability to purchase the means to promote products or services or, in the case of politics, candidates or ideas”. As such, most scholars studying political advertising think of it in the light of the traditional sense of advertising. For instance, many countries do not require or even allow their candidates or parties to purchase space or time for political advertising as they give free time on public broadcast stations for candidates to advertise themselves, opinions and ideas on issues about their suitability for the position they are vying

  • Essay On Role Of Media In Politics

    1500 Words  | 3 Pages

    The current role of mass media in politics has definitely played a significant role in how view and react to certain events and issues of the nation. Newspapers, magazines, television and radio are some of the ways information is passed onto many of the citizens. The World Wide Web is also an information superhighway, but not all of the sources on the Internet are credible. Therefore, I will only focus on the main three types of media: written, viewed, and audible, and how they affect whether or not democracy is being upheld in the land of the free. The media includes several different outlets through which people can receive information on politics, such as radio, television, advertising and mailings. When campaigning, politicians spend large quantities of money on media to reach voters, concentrating on voters who are undecided. Politicians may use television commercials, advertisements or mailings to point out potentially negative qualities in their opponents while extolling their own virtues. The media can also influence politics by deciding what news the public needs to hear. Often, there are more potential news stories available to the media than time or space to devote to them, so the media chooses the stories that are the most important and the most sensational for the public to hear. This choice can often be shaped,
