| Notes and Observations: Two days after announcing a major Hispanic advertising effort, the Kerry campaign announced a $2 million buy on African American media in a press conference at campaign headquarters. Chuck Morrison, executive vice president of UniWorld Group, Inc., the New York based, African American-owned firm that produced the ads, said the campaign will serve to introduce John Kerry to the African American community by "talking to us, not at us." The campaign describes the buy, which includes television, radio and print and will run through the convention, as "an unprecedented commitment this early in a presidential campaign." Historically Democratic presidential campaigns have not done this kind of targeted advertising until after their conventions. |
