I included a picture of a small African American girl with tears streaming down her face. She looks like she’s trying to be strong, maybe for her siblings, but she can’t hold her emotions in any longer. Two out of the three pictures I placed on the ad depict white children.…

Alternatively, a secondary audience could exist in the form of the elderly’s friends and family because they might have the responsibility of watching over their parents or grandparents as they…

The attack ad seeks to dissuade voters from choosing a certain candidate by attacking their character or track record.…
