Political Advertising and the Older Electorate

An experimental study involving samples of young and old voters examines whether older people are more susceptible to various types of political advertisements (positive versus negative and ambiguous versus clear) than are their younger counterparts. Our results extend research from cognitive psychology into political advertising and confirm age-related differences that favor younger people. The results are mixed regarding the persuasive impact of political advertisements. Specifically, younger people actually show greater attitudinal vulnerability and the oldest voters show the greatest behavioral vulnerability.     

Living in Media and the Future of Advertising

The future role of advertising and its professionals in society is considered using media theory and the production perspective on advertising as work. Given advertising's reliance on media to tell its stories, and people's everyday lives playing out within those same media, the moment these worlds collide provides an excellent starting point for futuristic exploration. Using a taxonomy of media as artifacts, activities, and social arrangements, advertising is considered in terms of an aesthetic opportunity, an ethical call to action, and a social responsibility.

以差异化传播塑造媒体特色——以东方卫视《舞林大会》为例

《超级女声》的火爆引发了娱乐选秀节目在全国各个电视台的泛滥，进入2006年，电视选秀节目继续成为中国娱乐电视节目的热点，全国各主要媒体的电视选秀节目仍然是红红火火。但是，在这一片大好的局面中，电视选秀节目在发展过程中遇到的问题也暴露无遗，节目千篇一律就成为许多策划、制作人无法摆脱的泥潭。由此也就形成了国内电视娱乐节目“主角相似、形式趋同、风格单一”的现状。

全面评价媒体的广告效果——媒体广告效果=收视×影响力指数

本研究借鉴国内外传媒研究者关于媒体质化研究的既有成果,集聚四家研究和调查机构及多名专家的智慧和经验,首次提出电视媒体影响力指数的概念和指标体系,并选取中央电视台、省级电视台、城市电视台三个层次共323个频道和60个全国收视率最高的代表性栏目,在全国35个中心城市对10500个样本进行了大规模的入户调查。分析结果表明,中央电视台是最具影响力的电视媒体,省级卫视影响力出现明显分化;电视栏目影响力上,中央电视台在新闻财经类栏目上优势明显,省级卫视在综艺影视剧类节目表现上与央视的差距正在缩小。本文还就收视率与影响力之间的相关性做了分析,并对这些研究结果的实际运用提出了策略性建议。

Heighton,Elizabeth J. and Don R. Cunningham. Advertising in the Broadcast Media. Belmont: Wadsworth Publishing Co., 1976

Abstract

Surrealistic ads are common in the print media, but empirical investigations of their persuasive impact are lacking. Findings of a study manipulating surrealism and priming (i.e., leading subjects to expect forthcoming messages with product-relevant information) supports the social adaptation theory and further investigation of this phenomenon.     

Selective Exposure and Retention of Political Advertising

This article examines the relative roles of “selective exposure” to and “selective retention” of political advertising during the 1972 presidential election. Data was gathered in two regionally diverse metropolitan areas, Philadelphia and Atlanta. Philadelphia indicated greater general exposure to mass media political advertising while Atlantans were more inclined to recall specific advertisements. In general, a medium rated high for advertising exposure mentions will be rated low on selective retention of message, and vice versa. The authors conclude that because of selective exposure and retention, political advertising may only be effective in reinforcing political beliefs rather than in the conversion of voters.     

Recall of Information from Political Advertising

Abstract

Televised political commercials have frequently been criticized for stressing idealized image characteristics of the candidates rather than issues. Content analyses of political advertising, however, have shown that these commercials generally contain both image and issue material. Given both types of content are present in political ads, this study was designed to determine what people recall from these ads in a natural environment. A telephone study during the last week of a gubernatorial election revealed that the amount of free recall exhibited was greater for information from a preferred candidate's commercials than from his opponent's. However, one-third of the respondents were unable to recall anything from either candidates' political commercials. Recall was more highly related to attitude variables than most demographic variables or total television exposure.

Mass Media Advertising in a Developing Country

This paper examines mass media advertising in the developing country of Morocco, with a special reference to the relevance of standardized versus localized advertising strategies. The advertising infrastructure is described, highlighting strengths and weaknesses of local advertising agencies. Advertising budgets are discussed according to size and type of company, before presenting a detailed assessment of the advertising media. Five selected campaigns serve to illustrate current advertising practices and problems. The authors conclude that knowledge of the local environment and a willingness to address consumers in their own terms are essential for advertising effectiveness in Morocco, and recommend use of localized rather than standardized marketing strategies.     

Advertising Decision Makers' and Consumers' Perceptions of Media Substitutability

The purpose of this article is to assess the perceptions of advertising media substitutability among consumers, media planners, and media providers. Data were collected from three different samples using structured questionnaires and CATI interviewing. The results suggest that some degree of substitution does indeed exist in all three groups. This means that if first media choices are unavailable all groups are likely to consider others as possibly providing the best buying information. This study adds to the scarce literature that focuses on perceptions of media substitutability and provides results for both demand and supply side of the media market. It also suggests that such perceptual studies may be helpful in a re-examination of current policy and advertising management decisions.
