Media Messages in the 2022 Midterm Election

Division, Deniers, Dobbs, and the Donald

About this book

The 2022 midterms marked a transformative moment in American politics, as the combined influence of legacy media and social platforms reached new heights. Traditional outlets like television news and print journalism set the stage, while a vast digital ecosystem—spanning Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and more—enabled campaigns to amplify messages on issues like abortion rights, the economy, and immigration. As these platforms shaped the voter experience in a fragmented and often- polarized media environment, campaigns and citizens harnessed their power to reach diverse audiences and build momentum across both established and emerging channels.

This book offers a compelling, scholarly exploration of these dynamics, revealing how communication across traditional and digital media shaped an election forecasted as a Republican "red wave" but instead delivered unexpected, narrower results. Through detailed analyses, data- driven research, and case studies from high- profile races, this book uncovers how media strategies influenced voter behavior, shaped public discourse, and framed electoral outcomes. Essential for academics, political analysts, and media professionals, this work provides crucial insights into the evolving role of media in U.S. elections and the weighty implications for future democratic engagement.
