ADVICE & RECOMMENDATIONS: HOW TO TEACH WITH AND ABOUT POLITICAL ADS<\/strong>
\nWe are all now seeing ads for candidates running for office. Many are candidate sponsored; others are Super PACS.<\/p>\n

It is my experience that many (educators, students) don’t know how to deconstruct these spots, which is why I wrote a book about them (Book: Political Campaigns and Political Advertising – Media Literacy Clearinghouse (frankwbaker.com)<\/a>) and devoted an entire web site to them (\u00a0Media and Politics – Media Literacy Clearinghouse (frankwbaker.com)<\/a><\/p>\n

Most can be found on the candidate’s website or on YouTube and Vimeo.<\/p>\n

Years ago, I created the\u00a0Political Ad Analyzing Worksheet – Media Literacy Clearinghouse (frankwbaker.com)<\/a>\u00a0as a handout that can be used with students.<\/p>\n

I’ve previously written several blog posts about this:\u00a0Help Students Understand How Political Advertising Works (middleweb.com)<\/a>\u00a0;\u00a0Pulling Back the Curtain on Campaign Ad Techniques (middleweb.com)<\/a>\u00a0; and\u00a0Media Literacy: Truth and Political Advertising (middleweb.com)<\/a>\u00a0 (These three can be reprinted or republished: if you republish, please advise me)<\/p>\n

CBS News produced this valuable segment:\u00a0Why TV stations can\u2019t censor misleading political campaign advertisements – YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

PBS is streaming:\u00a0The Origin of Political Attack Ads Unveiled in World Broadcast Premiere of ‘The First Attack Ads: Hollywood vs. Upton Sinclair’ | Press Room | PBS SoCal<\/a><\/p>\n

I also posted this recently: How To Determine What Your TV Station Charges for Political Ads\u00a0https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/political-ad-fcc-tv-files\/<\/a><\/p>\n

All of this is to say: we ALL need to help understanding this unique form of advertising that contributes MILLIONS to the bottom lines of the TV stations AND their owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
