TV ads in Presidential Campaigns

History Honeys

Hello Honey Bunches! This time Grant takes the reigns and teaches us about the history of those campaign ads that plague Americans every four years. We talk about notable examples, trends that come and go, and some points on funding, and how funding impacts form. Is the future of the country sold in the same way as laundry detergent? If big money is the problem, what's the solution? Why did we make an audio program about visual media?

• The Living Room Candidate
• PBS' :30 Second Candidate
• The Selling of the President by Joe McGinniss
• Gruen (Thanks Cleretic!)
• Some notable ads not mentioned: Confessions of a Republican, Voting Booth, Bear, Journey, Windsurfing, and plenty more. Did we miss one of your favorites?
