The media has always played an important role in the President’s relationship with the public, but just what kind of affect does it really have on the executive office? The first televised presidential debate in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon marked the beginning of a new era – the inaugural shift of the media’s role in politics. Since that time, the media has continued to transform the way the president is perceived by the public through print, broadcast, and more recently, social media. All of said outlets have played vital roles in not only a president’s campaign, but also in their presidency and likability throughout their time in office. While the White House is still the source of most presidential news, the media are the shapers of the story and can frame it pretty much any way they want. There used to be limits on certain issues or realms of the presidency that were to remain untouched, however, first amendment freedoms take precedence over almost any restriction the government could try to place on the media. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the media and the president throughout recent years, looking briefly into the past to establish the scale of the dramatic change, and to study their reciprocal connection of how each utilizes the other.

In the two-party system, a political party is often defined as simply a coalition of interests. In our system, any political party that hopes to win elections must build a coalition of support to receive a majority vote. While the two-party system is far from perfect, it provides us with an interesting look into how wide ranging political parties gain support from individuals that are commonly concerned with only one or a few issues. By looking at the Democratic and Republican national websites, we can gain information on who these parties target, why they target them, and the relative success of these efforts. In this short piece, I will examine both websites and compare and contrast how Democrats

As you can see in the poster, these themes are clearly exemplified through (whatever you put on the poster.. half face? Mouth up/down) explain your poster. How does it relate to the themes? In this movie, Othello is of Aboriginal decent, and Iago is Caucasian Australian.

I believe what Sassower and Cicotello claim is that any art is political in nature whether intentional or not. This is because each artist was raised and socialized to have certain ideologies about the world they live in. Even as attempts are made to make images that are unique and with new ideas they play off of old ideas. The question after this is then, are there any universal images that would be read in the same way? A popular phrase that can be heard is, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”, but in the book Political Blind Spots the argument is more that an idea is worth

The political campaign environment in the United States changed in 2010 with the allowance of unlimited independent expenditures by outside entities in elections. The courts’ decisions in Citizens United and SpeechNow.org further increases Americans’ concerns regarding an undue influence of money in politics. This, coupled with increasing polarization and congressional gridlock in the U.S. House of Representatives, promotes skepticism of the political process. Polarization and gridlock create perceptions that representatives do not represent the average voter preferences but represent big-moneyed interests (Briffault, 2011; Gilbert and Aiken, 2015) and donors, who are more ideologically extreme than the average voter (Barber, 2014). Given

Political campaigns are very significant in American politics and elections. They are the periods before the electorate makes political decisions. Citizen attention towards politics intensifies as the date of the election draws near. Campaign systems are the primary strategy used by candidates and parties to communicate politically with citizens. US political campaign systems are informative and provide a chance for candidates to notify the electorate about their ideologies and policies. Past campaign strategy incorporates a strong effort to establish effective campaign organizations throughout the country. Mobilization is the key to having motivated citizenry, and for citizens to give back, vote, or voice their opinion on that specific candidate. Several factors go into motivating certain groups of individuals over others to play a part in the election process. Mobilization in previous presidential campaigns

Cold War movie posters are propaganda pieces of their own. Using bold fonts, color palettes and characters that recall imagery found in Communist posters, these visual media were not only important to the Americans but also to international audiences who understood the connotative symbolism of such imagery and were as a result able to create associative links. Here are some examples of visually dynamic posters where the use of red is quite dominant to recall the communism flag, but also the high probability of a bloody war.

Political cartoons have been used for centuries in which the creators use a visual appeal on political events or conflicts in hopes that the reader will side with their opinion. Many of the political cartoons used at that time period were highly effective because it swayed many American’s opinions which cause them to vote or act differently. Specifically, without the political cartoon of the XYZ affair many America’s would not have made a large ordeal regarding the encounter, however the political cartoon intensified the America’s views resulting in an outrage against France. Similarly, political cartons are still successfully used today, especially regarding the presidential election and trying to sway voters to vote for a particular candidate.

The posters consist of a face and we see the word “take it on, SVA” on their face. When Sagmeister explains this poster he sees it as how the people that work on Sagmeister & Walsh Inc. are part of the School of Visual Art. The 3 different faces in the posters are Stefan Sagmeister, Jessica Walsh and Santiago Carrasquilla. The 3 designers are related to SVA. The meaning behind this poster is that we have to confront our fear for change. When asked about the fear of changed he explained how he had a fear of getting into the film industry, never the less he confronted this fear and went on to get into it. Personally in my way of seeing this, I feel that the posters meaning really is the way that Sagmeister follows his design. He lives with no fear when it comes to

Noam Chomsky once said, “That’s the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything.” Wednesday morning, the chilly November air stung my face as I walked slowly towards my car door. To me, it seemed that everything had changed. News of the election results mumbled quietly on the radio as I drove past signs all with the bold words, “Make America Great Again.” The presidential campaigns of 2016 year seemed so odd to my generation because it seemed that in modern times, campaigns had not been as unpleasant; however, before 2016, my age group had only

Modern political campaigns, according to the political science community, are known to not be the only external influence on both public opinion and candidate support during presidential elections in the United States. Whether campaigns hold a significant impact on election outcomes or if they influence public opinion is a debate that continues. Political scientists are currently challenged, when it comes to campaigns, with the ability to measure their type and the spectrum of their influence on society. The universal consensus held today acknowledges that at least a correlation exists between campaigns and public opinion and is supported by historical trends and a political process composed of liberal-democratic values. A campaign’s specific impact on the political process, separate from external variables, is a relationship that has been extensively researched by political scientists and could provide insight on creating an efficient strategy to achieve political power. Election candidates and their teams have strategically constructed their campaigns using this existing knowledge; and have adapted to recent phenomenon including the rise of globalization, increased political awareness, and a higher emphasis on external influences. These conditions have created an environment where the transmission of information on issues and characteristics, especially as they pertain to the candidate, can manipulate the momentum of a campaign and ultimately a vote. These external

A political cartoon is considered as the junction of two elements: caricature and allusion. They use caricature to place the person in question in a way they will look funny or even foolish for their appearance is being exaggerated. According the online Merriam Webster dictionary, an allusion is when we state something that referrers to something without mentioning it. This technique works perfectly when it comes to relate a very serious political cartoons. Thus, on May 29 of this year, Michael Ramirez published a cartoon on the website of the online newspaper. In this cartoon, the cartoonist used exaggeration and labelling. In the following paragraphs we will be analyzing this cartoon deeper.
