The Foley Institute’s Coffee & Politics Series continues with Michael Franz, who will be discussing:”Why negative ads are good for you!”
Most Americans say they hate negative campaign advertisements. But what is their effect on voters? Do such ads only alienate voters or do they also inform the electorate? The answers to these questions may surprise you.
Michael M. Franz is Associate Professor of Government at Bowdoin College. His research interests include political advertising and campaigns, interest groups politics, and media and politics. His research has been widely published in leading political science journals and is a former recipient of the American Political Science Association’s E.E. Schattschneider Award for research on American government.
