Thanks to technology, coverage of political campaigns continues to change on a daily basis. For this cycle, the change has allowed us to launch Ad Spotlight, which features current television and radio campaign ads from around the country.

But as we all know, campaign and issue advertising did not start with this cycle, so The Hotline reached out to media consulting firms across the country to ask them for copies of some their best ads from the last few election cycles.

So far, nine firms have responded: Fenn & King Communications (D), Goddard Claussen (I), Joe Slade White (D), Sandler & Innocenzi (R), Squier Knapp Ochs (D), Stevens Reed Curcio & Co. (R), Stevens & Schriefer (R), Struble Oppel Donovan (D) and Trippi McMahon Squier (D).

Hotline and National Journal welcome any "Best Of" reels other media consulting firms would like to add to the collection.

To view the ads, you will need RealPlayer™ 4.0, which is available for free from the Progressive Networks Web site.
