The Impact

Presidential approval ratings are a frequently used barometer of performance and popularity. However, despite recognition of the media age in which we live, little work has examined the impact of television on presidential popularity. Using a 1980 and 1984 television content study, panel data from the 1980 National Election Study and rolling cross-sectional data from the 1984 Continuous Monitoring Study, I compare two American presidents (Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan) commonly seen as having different effectiveness on television. While media effects were not uniformly present during the two presidencies, there was some evidence that television harmed popularity, particularly when the content of news stories and commentary turned negative. I conclude by discussing the ramifications of these results for presidential strategies based on ‘going public’.

The Impact

Major news stories demonstrate the importance and vulnerability of information technology (IT); highlighting the need to understand how to reduce risk. This study investigates the key factors affecting IT audit quality (ITAQ), focusing on individual auditor and organizational factors. We utilize multiple approaches to understand professionals' general perceptions of ITAQ and results from specific audits. Our results suggest that the importance of IT audit quality factors differs between participants' general perceptions and those reported for specific IT audit experiences. Participants' general perceptions indicated that the most important factors for ITAQ were auditors' knowledge and skills, specifically IT and business process knowledge. By comparison, actual audit experiences suggest organizational factors as more important, specifically audit planning and the auditor-client relationship. We believe these differences between general perceptions and reported results suggest a potential opportunity to improve ITAQ via additional education and upfront development of the audit teams and processes.

The Impact

The book begins by laying out a story about the impact of the presidential race on the congressional races in 2016. At the center of this story lie two unanticipated developments that characterized the 2016 election. The first of these was the unusual centrality of sexism and gender stereotypes to the presidential race in 2016. In a society that appears, by some measures, to have taken strides toward greater gender equality, what happened in Congressional campaigns when “retrograde” views on gender unexpectedly emerged in the competition for the presidency? The second unexpected occurrence was the nomination of Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s presidential candidate, and the subsequent assumption that he would lose the presidential contest to Hillary Clinton. What impact did this development have on Congressional campaigns? Congressional candidates in the 2016 election found themselves in a fairly novel situation generated by the presidential race: gender issues became central to the presidential campaign, and, in turn, to the entire election process.

The Impact

Abstract Background Dementia Understand Together is a public support, awareness and stigma reduction campaign aimed at inspiring people from all sections of society to stand together with the 55,000 Irish people living with dementia. Led by the HSE working with The Alzheimer Society of Ireland and Genio it is supported by over 40 partner organisations and 230+ community champions, who are creating communities that actively embrace and include those living with dementia and their families. Methods The campaign uses personal testimonial TV commercials, radio advertising, social media and national and local news stories to build understanding among the general public about dementia. At a local level the campaign is growing a movement of people who are taking action to creative inclusive communities across Ireland. Extensive research using national biennial public surveys (2016 and 2018) (N=1003) and campaign evaluation tools has and continues to inform the development and progression of the campaign. Results 33% of respondents described themselves as knowing a lot about dementia, up from 24% in January 2016. There was a significant difference in attitudes between those who were aware of the campaign and those who were not. Dementia risk reduction is a key message of the national campaign and 52% of respondents were aware that there are things they can do to potentially reduce their risk – up from 46% in 2016. 59% who saw the TV campaign said they were impacted in some way as a result of the personal stories featured and stated that they took some action, such as calling into a friend. Conclusion The development and implementation of the campaign is a partnership approach between the leading organisations working in the area of dementia. Findings show that the campaign is creating better understanding of dementia among the general public, increasing awareness of the condition and risk reduction, and is inspiring people to take actions.

Twenty First Century

This concluding chapter assesses what the verbal and visual news coverage of Hillary Clinton tells us about the gendered nation, political authenticity and character, and news framing of U.S. political women at the turn of the twenty-first century. Those who become routine fixtures in news stories can function as didactic character models to be admired and emulated, as well as chastised and even despised. Journalists (along with the aid of news writers and news producers) serve as some of the nation's most powerful biographers, contributing stories and pictures that make up the chapters of a political leader's life. Moreover, conceptions of authentic womanhood and authentic manhood in particular bring together ideological forces that can empower yet also bind the nation's political leaders, offering a gender baseline that fuses with other markers of political authenticity to define an individual leader.

The Impact

Chapter 9 of Cyberwar discusses the impact of press and campaign uses of Russian hacking and the ways in which it was amplified by troll messaging. Jamieson argues that, starting in July 2016—when WikiLeaks released its first tranche of private emails from the inboxes of Democratic National Committee staffers—and continuing through to Election Day, the Russian-hacked Democratic materials and uses of it by troll accounts, Republicans, and the media affected what Americans saw, heard, and read about Hillary Clinton. Hacked content released on October 7 was able to counterbalance both the so-called Access Hollywood tape and deflected attention from a joint statement from the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirming that the Russians were behind the DNC hacking. Jamieson also details how hacked Clinton speech segments changed the news agenda and framing on October 9.
