The Texting Phenomenon
Key Player #1: Matti Makkonen and Key Player #2: Friedhelm Hillebrand helped start SMS texting. SMS became popular because it was fast, cheap, and easy to use. Americans now text more than they make phone calls. While the cost of texting has increased, it has also become a common marketing platform used for advertising, package delivery notifications, donations, and more. However, overuse of texting in place of face-to-face communication can have negative social impacts and texting safety remains an ongoing issue. The future of texting may involve greater interconnectivity between users and applications on mobile devices.
Ellison Thesis
This document provides an introduction and background to a study on ways to motivate voters in Wyoming to increase voter turnout for Democrats. It discusses how previous efforts by the Wyoming Democratic Party to use TV ads were ineffective. It argues that more personal methods like direct mail, phone calls, and canvassing may be more effective than less personal methods. It reviews previous research on get out the vote (GOTV) efforts, finding that face-to-face contact is the most effective at motivating voters. The document outlines the methodology for a proposed primary research study to test different GOTV methods with Wyoming voters.

Digital and social media in Public Affairs
Digital and social media can support traditional public affairs activities in several ways:
1) By establishing online presences and distributing content that policymakers and other stakeholders access regularly, such as websites, blogs, and Wikipedia pages.
2) By using social media like Twitter and LinkedIn to potentially connect with targets and build professional relationships and alliances.
3) By monitoring digital channels like blogs, tweets, and online communities to gather intelligence on issues.
Public affairs is also expanding to engage a wider range of political actors and appeal to values as well as facts. Digital tools are well-suited for storytelling, mobilization, and grassroots engagement activities. However, resources, attitudes, and policies

The new landscape of facts and trust
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, discussed the Center's latest findings at the Mid-Atlantic Marketing Summit in Washington. He talked about how people use social media, how they think about news in the Trump Era, how they try to establish and act on trust and where they turn for expertise in a period where so much information is contested.
2012: The New Political Campaign
Social media is the only way to effectively reach certain demographics, yet many political candidates and organizations do not effectively use digital channels. This presentation describes why it's important to use the channels and how to get started.
Generation Y and the Republican Party
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by the author to gauge the attitudes of Generation Y voters (ages 18-29) on key issues. The survey found that Generation Y respondents were more liberal than the current Republican party platform on issues like immigration, gay marriage, abortion, and social issues. The author concludes that for the Republican party to attract Generation Y voters, they will need to change their positions on some social issues and show more openness rather than trying to change their message or messenger.
Social Media and Politics
This document discusses the importance of social media in political campaigns and elections. It provides tips for using social media for staffing, fundraising, advertising, communication, and field operations. While social media alone is not enough, it can help with fundraising, increasing name recognition, and spreading compelling issues. Examples are given of candidates who have used social media effectively or ineffectively in their campaigns.
Not Your Father's Internet!
The document discusses generational differences in online political engagement. Younger generations now get most of their political information from the internet through websites, videos, social media, and other digital tools, rather than traditional methods like TV, mail, and pamphlets. While some politicians have started to adapt campaigning to new online methods, many still rely on older strategies that do not effectively engage younger audiences who expect interactivity. The youth have also taken political organizing into their own hands through user-generated campaigns on social networks and texting/IM tools.
What makes-an-influencer
The document summarizes the key findings of a survey conducted by Vocus and Brian Solis on perceptions of online influence. Some of the main findings include:
1) Respondents perceived a difference between influence and popularity, though the distinction is not always clear. There is seen to be a correlation between reach and influence on social networks.
2) Factors like the quality of one's network, quality of content, ability to drive outcomes, and relationship depth contribute most to perceptions of influence.
3) Creating compelling content is seen as important for increasing influence, but measuring influence effectively showed varying views.
4) Senior executives such as CEOs and CMOs were more willing to pay influencers
Social Media and Politics
Social media is key to winning elections in 2010. It can be used for staffing, fundraising, advertising, communication, and field operations. While social media alone is not enough to win, it helps with fundraising, name recognition, and spreading compelling issues. Candidates need money, name recognition, compelling issues, and to use social media to help obtain the other three. The document provides examples of how social media like Twitter can be used for free public relations and advancing issues.
Social Media & Politics: What You Need to Know to Run for Any Office
5/6/2010 - Social Media & Politics: What You Need to Know to Run for Any Office with Diane K. Danielson
How to Effectively Communicate With Voters
Iowa-based campaign manager Craig Schoenfeld serves as the president of CR3connect and principal of Prairie Lawn Consulting. Through the latter business, he handles government affairs and public relations consulting. Meanwhile, at CR3connect, Craig Schoenfeld of Iowa leads the state’s top lobby and advocacy firms specializing in informing the public about political events.
With any political campaign, voter contact is key to success. While voter communication is challenging, there are several methods and techniques that campaign managers and others can employ.
The first step to reaching out to voters is finding the best medium for target voters. Depending on the desired audience, campaigns may communicate online, via booklets, through television, or on social media. Certain mediums reach certain audiences more effectively. For instance, newspapers are not the most widespread medium anymore, but they are still useful for grassroots political campaigns or for older, more affluent voters.
Once the best mediums are found, the next focus is on wording the campaign communication properly. When talking to voters, any communication should be personal and highlight why a particular campaign is beneficial for a particular community. Hypothetically, if a voter base loves the environment, political communications should mention the environment.
At the same time, all communication should be formatted as a conversation. Make sure it uses personal pronouns and is positive and polite, as if someone is addressing voters in person and not through an advertisement or other form of contact.
Internet and Politics
The document discusses how social media, particularly YouTube, has impacted politics and presidential elections. It notes that candidates can benefit from inspiring speeches online but also face criticism over embarrassing clips. While the internet allows more public participation, videos can be edited to portray candidates negatively. Both Obama and Clinton have embraced social media more than McCain, gaining more online supporters. However, the effect of online campaigns on actual voting is still unclear.

A live demonstration then shows the key parts of the platform, including the event website, personal fundraising pages, and integrated email and social media tools.

e-politics project
This document summarizes the results of a survey of Canadian MPs and former MPs regarding their use of online communication tools. Some key findings include:
- Four in ten current MPs share responsibility for handling constituent correspondence with their staff. Almost all collect personal information from constituents.
- MPs have partially embraced social media but prefer email for hearing from constituents. Personal forms of communication like meetings and letters are given more weight than non-personal forms when motivating MPs to act.
- Large numbers of communications can influence MPs, but personal contact is most effective at changing minds and priorities. The survey findings provide lessons for groups to take integrated, personalized approaches when campaigning to influence MPs.
2010 Socmed Surevy Results Presentation W Notes
The speaker presented the results of a social media survey administered to 600 members of the Communicators Forum. Key findings included:
- 76 people responded, with most spending 2-4 hours per week on social media for work.
- Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter were the most commonly used platforms.
- While most felt their social media use was strategic and effective, few measured results.
- Respondents wanted to learn more about measurement, strategy, and managing multiple accounts.
- The speaker concluded the university is still in the early adolescence of social media adoption and more communities are needed to share best practices.

It discusses experience design and personalization, explaining that personalization anticipates needs by eliminating the irrelevant rather than customizing. It provides examples of coordinating, acknowledging, and reducing interactions. Overall, the document provides an introduction to key concepts in user experience design like different types of interactions and personalization.

Online Organizing
Online organizing provides powerful tools to supplement traditional campaign organizing. While new media alone cannot drive victory, it can play a supporting role in communications, field operations, and fundraising when properly integrated. Effective online strategies require assessing available resources and balancing desires to utilize new technologies with tangible goals like getting votes, volunteers, or donations. Content, clear calls to action, and maintaining an up-to-date online presence are most important.

- Social sharing of donations showed mixed results, with 34% unwilling to share but 40% willing.
Homicide AssignmentInstructionsIn class, we will be discussi
Homicide Assignment:
Instructions:
In class, we will be discussing various forms of homicide within the family. One of these was the killing of a child by a parent. As discussed in the lecture and the text, there are three different forms of parental killings: neonaticide, infanticide, filicide. While they are rare in the US, we can likely all agree that the fact they happen at all is unacceptable. For this assignment, you are to come up with strategies to reduce parental killings.
· For each of these three types of parental killings, identify a strategy or method that would reduce the likelihood of that type of killing.
· Describe the strategy.
· Discuss why you think this method/strategy would be effective given the specific type of parental killing.
Make sure you include at least TWO academic sources in your assignment.
Note: Assignments should be approximately 2 pages double spaced.

What did you learn about surveys?
After visiting the website, I found out that surveys are a great tool for marketing research to improve companies sales or services. Also, surveys use data collected from different groups of people based on two different approaches by questionnaires or interviews. Perhaps, Sills and Song mention “The rapid expansion of Internet users has given Web-based surveys the potential to become a powerful tool in survey research.”(Sills, & Song, 2002, February 01). Nowadays, the internet had facilitated surveys research which gives more access to collect data from different sectors and groups, especially using social media and emails.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Mail, telephone interviews, and in-person interviews?
There are many ways to collect data for survey research, for example by Mail, telephone interviews, and in-person interviews. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages.
Mail advantages: This method allows to collect data without any influence from the interviewer and send surveys by Mail to a selected region or population saving time and lowering costs. Perhaps, big disadvantages are that most of the surveys will end in the garbage with other unwanted Mail from recipients, and it will take a long time to get the surveys by Mail back for further analysis. Surveys by phone have the advantages to reach significant amount people per day at lower cost from different states at the same time. Perhaps, phone calls disadvantages are that many people will not participate in surveys by phone, lose connection, people are afraid of identity theft, busy working, or using their phones to be involved in social media, and will not survey unless they get something in return. Last, in-person interview advantages are that the collection of data is face to face and interviewees will get a better understanding from interviewers questions. Perhaps, the in-person interview has many disadvantages; it is more expensive than other methods, only limited people per day can be interviewed, and people rejecting to participate.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of how we collect survey data?
The advantages of how we collect survey data depending on the method used. Collecting survey data at low cost and quantity of interviewees will be the most advantageous factor of collecting survey data. For example, Mails, emails, and phone calls have lower cost and are easy to collect for faster analysis. Disadvantages include lacking interest from people to respond emails, letters, or answer unknown phone calls to participate in surveys. Also, last elections “Trump also picked up likely Electoral College votes in the forecast, although FiveThirtyEight still shows Clinton winning the necessary 270 easily: 319 votes to 218.” (Loffredo, 2016, September 30). All polls gave as winner Hillary Clinton, but many people who were asked did not want to accept that they will vote ...
Using Web 2.0 to Build Stronger Government Relations and Advocacy Programs
The document discusses using web technologies like social media and email marketing to build stronger advocacy programs in higher education. It provides examples of how universities have successfully used these tools to engage supporters and influence legislators. Specifically, it outlines how the University of Minnesota used targeted email campaigns and online petitions over three years to build support and successfully lobby to bring football games back to campus. It recommends integrating online and offline advocacy efforts, personalizing messages, collecting supporter data, and establishing regular interactions to empower and engage constituents.

Twitter Final
This document summarizes a presentation on using Twitter as an organizing tool. Some key points made include:
- Twitter is best for conference communication, sharing links without requiring other actions, and communicating with reporters who follow you.
- Reporters may find sources on Twitter by searching keywords and seeing what people are saying about issues they cover. Advocates can communicate directly with reporters by sending them relevant information.
- Experiments with Twitter petitions and fundraising showed mixed results, with higher conversion rates found through other online and email-based methods.
- When using Twitter for activism, it's important to have a clear strategy, metrics, consider opportunity costs, ensure the theory of change supports mere clicks versus other actions, and use
Twitter Final
The document discusses using Twitter as an organizing tool. It provides examples of how Twitter can be used to share links and information but has relatively low conversion rates for driving people to take direct action like signing petitions compared to blogs. Twitter is better suited for conference communication, sharing information with reporters who may follow influential users, and experimenting with new organizing techniques like Twitter petitions and fundraising. The key is having a clear strategy and metrics for success rather than just driving clicks.
