Abstract:This study investigated the way that network television covered televised political advertising in presidential campaigns from 1972 through 1988. The findings indicated a substantial increase in the coverage of spots on the network evening news in 1988. In addition, 1988 coverage tended to cover negative spots more than positive ones and was more likely to be characterized by an unfavorable than a favorable slant. The suggestion is made that this increased exposure may have benefited campaigns by providing free airing of their spots, as well as legitimizing the use of political commercials as a factor in voter decision making.
