New website 5 Calls makes it easy and convenient to contact your representatives

New website 5 Calls makes it easy and convenient to contact your representatives | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From boingboing.net - January 29, 2017 1:41 AM
A lot of former congressional staffers agree that the best way to make your voice heard is to call your representatives rather than emailing them. And a new website makes that easier than ever. 5 Calls streamlines the calling process to make it user friendly and convenient. Simply enter your zipcode at the top left and you’ll be given a personalized list of numbers to call about the most pressing issues of the day. Click through topics on the left hand column to access a brief overview of each issue, a script to use when placing the call, and an explanation of why you’re calling a particular office (i.e. it’s one of your Senators or the Army Corps of Engineers is conducting an environmental impact report on the Dakota Access Pipeline)....

Who Is Buying Political Ads on Cable? - eMarketer

Who Is Buying Political Ads on Cable? - eMarketer | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.emarketer.com - September 23, 2016 9:54 AM

More than 60% of US cable TV political ad spending is coming from political action committees (PACs) and issues advertisers, according to data from Viamedia on ads served on its platform between January and August 2016.

 

Twice as much political ad spending is coming from PACs and issues advertisers than from down-ballot campaigns, which mostly includes spending by candidates for the US House of Representatives and Senate. And more than six times as much spending is coming from PACs and issues advertisers than from presidential campaigns.

 

TV is still the dominant destination for political ad spend, and research from Nomura Securities indicates that cable TV, which makes up the second-largest share, is estimated to see $1.10 billion this year, or 10.8% of total US political ad spend.Generally, internet users learn most about politics from TV.

 

Indeed, a survey from YuMe revealed that 69% of US internet users find TV news to be the most effective political marketing channel. And while TV may be a significant channel for candidates to advertise on, not everyone is doing so....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Just 10% of cable TV political ad spending is coming from presidential candidates.

US Deaths From Gun Violence & Terrorism Compared | Statista

US Deaths From Gun Violence & Terrorism Compared | Statista | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.statista.com - October 3, 2015 1:51 AM

In the wake of yesterday's mass shooting at a college in Oregon, a visibly distressed President Obama challenged to media to analyse deaths from terrorism and gun violence, publishing the numbers side by side. Over 10,000 people are killed in gun violence in the United States every year. After 9/11, the number of U.S. citizens killed in terrorist attacks each year has never surpassed 75.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

This sobering chart shows deaths from terrorism and gun homicide in the United States from 2001 to 2011.

Glenn Greenwald To Anderson Cooper: Peter King And Others Targeting Me For ‘The Crime Of Doing Journalism’ | Mediaite

Glenn Greenwald To Anderson Cooper: Peter King And Others Targeting Me For ‘The Crime Of Doing Journalism’ | Mediaite | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.mediaite.com - June 12, 2013 11:34 PM

Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald broke the NSA surveillance scandal wide open, and at least one member of Congress wants him arrested for it. Congressman Peter King has been very clear that he wants Greenwald prosecuted for the information he’s revealed and for threatening to reveal the identities of CIA agents. However, Greenwald has said no such thing, and responded on CNN tonight, telling Anderson Cooper that King is targeting him for “the crime of doing journalism.”...

Fascinating debates on important media and public policy issues.

Julian Assange: 'I am – like all hackers – a little bit autistic'

Julian Assange: 'I am – like all hackers – a little bit autistic' | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.independent.co.uk - September 22, 2011 11:27 PM
When I started hacking you were just one layer above the bare metal. You were typing into this wonderful emptiness, waiting to be populated with minds.

 

The thrill of getting into top-secret websites quickly became addictive for Julian Assange. Here he describes all-night hacking sessions, a cat-and-mouse game with a computer administrator and the arrival of the police...

Wonderland: Truth, lies, statistics and alternate facts

Wonderland: Truth, lies, statistics and alternate facts | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.theprcoach.com - January 27, 2017 10:46 AM

What we’ve got here is [NOT] a failure to communicate” to slightly alter the famous line from the movie Cool Hand Luke.


That line best describes public response to the Trump inauguration, the massive DC and national Women’s March, and the public and social media response to the first six days of the new administration.


The Trump campaign and transition teams, and the new White House advisors all pride themselves on their social media savvy. Led by the newly sworn-in POTUS and Twitter-in-Chief, social media is now alive with the sound of truth, lies, statistics and “alternate facts.”


And the new administration is scrambling to respond....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Twitter is filled with competing truths, lies and “alternate facts.” More than 2.5 million Twitter followers have pledged to support Alt-Gov accounts and a real movement is born.

The moral vacuum within Donald Trump: a campaign speech by . . . - without bullshit

The moral vacuum within Donald Trump: a campaign speech by . . . - without bullshit | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From withoutbullshit.com - February 29, 2016 12:49 AM

I challenge each of the remaining candidates for president. Do you have the courage to make this speech and save America from Donald Trump?


My fellow Americans, today’s speech is not about me. It is about you.


I speak to you today about the greatest threat to America’s future. It’s not ISIS. It’s not gun violence or drugs. It is Donald Trump.


The reason is simple. Unlike every other candidate in this race — and unlike the committed people that make up our government — Donald Trump has only an empty hole where his conscience should be....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Fascinating and passionate post by Josh Bernoff.

Lizett Lopez's curator insight, March 2, 2016 5:37 PM

The source were I got the article from does not seem to be, any bit reliable because just from reading the entire article and the last paragraph it was a complete biased paper. But, I personally do not disagree with what the writer wrote because I view Trump the same way the writer displayed Trump as a selfish "child" who does not care for the benefit of all of Americans. I chose to read this article because I keep viewing the jokes and certain speeches that Trump has given. Many who say that Trump is such a joke I agree that he is. But, if you have been tuning in to the Republican Debates Trump has won. He up to now has won over FOUR US states. I personally feel like it is becoming more serious every time he wins. Yet, we all know Trump is going to be a horrible president then why are many still voting for him if his tactics are pretty much displayed all over social media?

Sifting through the falsehoods and half-true sentiments popping up left and right online is Truthsquad, a journalist-driven, community fact-checking experiment of NewsTrust, in partnership with the Center for Public Integrity.
