Foyle, Fowler on 2010 Election Ads and Beyond
2010 broke political advertising records, but 2012 is poised to be even bigger (and more negative)
On a recent episode of WNPR’s “Where We Live” Douglas Foyle, the Douglas J. and Midge Bowen Bennet Associate Professor of Government, and Erika Franklin Fowler, assistant professor of government and director of The Wesleyan Media Project discussed political advertisements and the effect of the ‘Citizens United’ case. Issues surrounding negative ads in particular received a significant amount of the discussion.
