The Wesleyan Media Project is pleased to provide scholarly access to Kantar Media/CMAG tracking and video (and in some cases pdf) data covering all broadcast political advertising from the 210 media markets in the United States. Wesleyan Media Project coding is also available for all federal and gubernatorial airings that have been publicly released. To gain access to a particular year, please follow the instructions in the appropriate section below and either mail with a check to the address below or submit your payment of $20* for each dataset by using the form below.
