intermedia agenda setting and political activism moveon org and the 2008 Presidential Election
Mass Communication and Society, 2010Co-Authors: Matthew W Ragas, Spiro KiousisAbstract:This study tested for intermedia agenda-setting effects among explicitly partisan news media coverage and political activist group, citizen activist, and official campaign advertisements on YouTube—all in support of the same candidate. The setting for this investigation was the political activist organization MoveOn.org's “Obama in 30 Seconds” online ad contest, which was held during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election primaries. The data provided evidence of first- and second-level agenda-setting relationships. Partial correlations revealed that the citizen activist issue agenda, as articulated in the contest ads, was most strongly related to the partisan media coverage, rather than to the issue priorities of the official Obama or MoveOn.org ads on YouTube. These results extend the intermedia agenda-setting framework to political activist communication efforts and consumer-generated content.

explicating media salience a factor analysis of new york times issue coverage during the 2000 u s Presidential Election
Journal of Communication, 2004Co-Authors: Spiro KiousisAbstract:Media salience—the key independent variable in agenda-setting research—has traditionally been explicated as a singular construct. Nevertheless, scholars have defined and measured it using a number of different conceptualizations and empirical indicators. To address this limitation in research, this study introduced a conceptual model of media salience, suggesting it is a multidimensional construct consisting of 3 core elements: attention, prominence, and valence. Furthermore, the model was tested through an exploratory factor analysis of The New York Times news coverage of 8 major political issues during the 2000 Presidential Election as a case study. The data revealed that 2 dimensions of media salience emerge: visibility and valence. Based on the factor analysis, 2 indices are created to measure the construct, which are intended for use in future investigations.

agenda setting effects and attitude strength political figures during the 1996 Presidential Election
Communication Research, 2004Co-Authors: Spiro Kiousis, Max MccombsAbstract:This study examined the consequences of agenda-setting effects for attitudes toward political figures during the 1996 Presidential Election. In particular, guided by the literature from agenda setting, attitude strength, and the hierarchy of effects, the analysis tested hypotheses about the relationships among media coverage, public salience, and the strength of public attitudes regarding a set of 11 political figures. The findings indicate that increased media attention to political figures is correlated with higher levels of public salience and attitude strength. In addition, multivariate tests showed that one dimension of attitude strength, dispersion of opinions, mediated the relationship between media coverage and public salience. The implications of the results are also discussed.

exceeding expectations determinants of satisfaction with the voting process in the 2008 u s Presidential Election
The Journal of Politics, 2013Co-Authors: Paul S Herrnson, Ryan L Claassen, Richard G Niemi, Kelly D PattersonAbstract:The 2000 U.S. Presidential Election resulted in states introducing new voting systems and Election administration procedures. The Election also raised concerns that poor experiences at the polls would produce lower levels of confidence in the electoral process or lower turnout. Drawing on theories used in organizational psychology and marketing and using an internet-administered panel survey, we assess the impact of voters’ expectations on their satisfaction in the 2008 Elections. The findings indicate that voters have different expectations about the voting process and that these expectations condition the ways in which voters assess their experience. Therefore, a complete explanation of voter satisfaction with the voting process must account for both the expectations voters bring to the polling place and the experiences voters have there.

expectations and satisfaction with the voting process in the 2008 u s Presidential Election
2009Co-Authors: Paul S Herrnson, Richard G Niemi, Kelly D PattersonAbstract:The 2000 Presidential Election brought intense scrutiny to the American Election process, resulting in a number of significant reforms. Some changes involved overhauling rules for audits and other administrative procedures. Others involved the ways in which voters record their votes. The latter set of reforms raised questions about the type and quality of the experience voters would have at the polls on Election Day 2008, especially because of new technology voters would be required to use. Researchers and pundits alike worried that poor experiences at the polls would produce lower levels of confidence in the electoral process or a desire not to vote in subsequent Elections. Using an innovative panel design and an internet-administered survey, we examine the type of experience voters had at the polls. Drawing insights from the organizational psychology and marketing research literatures on the impact of expectations on consumer satisfaction, the survey also measures the expectations voters had for their voting experience. The findings indicate that a full explanation of voter satisfaction with the voting experience needs to address both expectations and experiences of voters, as expectations condition the reaction of voters to their experiences at the polls.

the supreme court and the us Presidential Election of 2000 wounds self inflicted or otherwise
British Journal of Political Science, 2003Co-Authors: James L Gibson, Gregory A Caldeira, Lester K SpenceAbstract:The conventional wisdom about the US Supreme Court and the 2000 Presidential Election is that the Court wounded itself by participating in such a partisan dispute. By ‘wounded’ people mean that the institution lost some of its legitimacy. Evidence from our survey, conducted in early 2001, suggests little if any diminution of the Court’s legitimacy in the aftermath of Bush v. Gore, even among African Americans. We observe a relationship between evaluations of the opinion and institutional legitimacy, but the bulk of the causality seems to flow from loyalty to evaluations of the case, not vice versa. We argue that legitimacy frames perceptions of the Court opinion. Furthermore, increased awareness of the activities of the Court tends to reinforce legitimacy by exposing people to the powerful symbols of law. In 2000, legitimacy did indeed seem to provide a reservoir of good will that allowed the Court to weather the storm created by its involvement in Florida’s Presidential Election.

Buzzer as the Driving Force for Buzz Marketing on Twitter in the 2019 Indonesian Presidential Election
International Journal of Science Technology & Management, 2021Co-Authors: Virgia Aida Handini, Amri DunanAbstract:This study aims to determine Buzzers' existence and the Buzz Marketing strategy carried out by Buzzers during the 2019 Presidential Election on Twitter. The method in this study used qualitative research with Sostac P.R Smith's analysis. As a result, 1) the Buzzer's existence in the 2019 Indonesian Presidential Election contest was formed at the end of 2018. The formation of a Professional Buzzer was carried out through a recruitment process held by several legal companies with a predetermined payment system; 2) In carrying out Buzz marketing, Buzzer has arranged plans to distribute political content. Buzzers use a variety of political strategies to amplify political messages. Then, the political messages are spread using a minimum of three or more accounts to engage in a conversation. Through systematic Buzz marketing planning, political messages that are informative, persuasive, and instructive systematically and intensely to Twitter netizens make the results more optimal. However, Buzzer still needs to formulate political content that is more attractive to Twitter netizens, such as avoiding old content that uses political narratives containing SARA elements, hoaxes, hate speech, and other propaganda.
