Online coders, open codebooks: New opportunities for content analysis of political communication
Analyzing audiovisual communication is challenging because its content is highly symbolic and less rule-governed than verbal material. But audiovisual messages are important to understand: they amplify, enrich, and complicate the meaning of textual information. We describe a fully-reproducible approach to analyzing video content using minimally—but systematically—trained online workers. By aggregating the work of multiple coders, we achieve relia…

Democratic Politics and Survey Research
Democratically inspired critics identify a number of problems with the contemporary identification of survey research and public opinion. Surveys are said to normalize or rationalize opinion, to promote state or corporate rather than democratic interests, to constrain authentic forms of participation, and to force an individualized conception of public opinion. Some of these criticisms are relatively easily answered by survey researchers. But the…
Against Deliberation
Deliberation, which has become a democratic standard in American political settings, has also an undemocratic appeal. Foremost among the undemocratic charges against deliberation is that its proponents cannot guarantee equality of opportunity to those who want to participate in it. Furthermore, critics of deliberation argue that the problem of ordinary citizens committing excesses when they participate in deliberative processes must be addressed.…
Mimicking Political Debate with Survey Questions: The Case of White Opinion on Affirmative Action for Blacks
By examining the alterations in opinion induced by alterations in question wording that mimic the ongoing debate among elites, it becomes possible to learn how changes in public opinion can be induced by changes taking place outside the survey, in the ordinary, everyday process of democratic discussion. We present evidence in support of this broad claim from a recent national survey in which white Americans were invited to think about affirmative…
