Rutgers University Political Campaign Communication Discussion
Question Description
After watching the film, please respond to the following questions:
1. What differences did you find between how Shirley Chisholm campaigned in 1972 and today’s presidential campaigns. Try to think of differences beyond the simply technological.
2. Do you think Chisholm ever had a chance to win? If yes, what should she have done differently? If no, what might be the reasons to run a presidential campaign that is not likely to win?
After watching the film, please respond to the following questions:
1. What do you think about the relationship between the candidate and the press? Is it friendly, adversarial, a combination, or something else? How does this relationship affect how the media covers the candidate?
2. Many of Bush’s events on the campaign trail seem to be pseudoevents (see Political Campaign Communication, p. 67-68). Why does the press cover these events? Should they? Do they help voters make a decision?
