THE 30-SECOND CANDIDATE
election update
 |
 THE
30-SECOND CANDIDATE also takes viewers inside
congressional races in Minnesota and southern Georgia to see how a media
campaign unfolds, from strategy sessions to editing commercials. The documentary
provides an unusual "fly-on-the-wall" perspective on a process few people
get to see. |
 |
| The
future of political advertising is considered by profiling the work of
a new organization called the Alliance for Better Campaigns. The group
was organized by Paul Taylor, a former Washington Post political
reporter who became disenchanted with both the system and how it was covered.
The Alliance is trying to reform how campaigns are conducted and covered
in 10 different states this fall. |
