MNF Ads – Dayton & Walz yes, Bachmann no
That was a tough game. So many woulda shoulda couldas… if only Farve had thrown that slant pass to Harvin just a little lower…
It’s the same with captioning. We saw ads by Dayton and Walz that were captioned, and one by Bachmann that wasn’t. There may have been other ads that we didn’t see. If you saw any, please send us an email with the specifics!
PS – remember, if a candidate receives public funds he or she MUST caption their ads. Dayton does not receive funds, so he is not legally obligated to caption. But of course we think he should anyway 😉
Emmer Captions Web Videos
Emmer’s campaign has been working hard to catch up. The four most recent videos are now captioned. Kudos and keep up the good work!
Otto Ads Captioned
Rebecca Otto recently aired two ads and posted them on her website as well – both captioned. Like Ritchie (see the previous post), her staff clearly made an effort to make sure the online ads were captioned from the get-go. Way to go, Otto!
Ritchie Ad Captioned
Mark Ritchie’s campaign announced a new ad on TV today – and the online version was captioned. Kudos to the Ritchie campaign! All too often, when the web version is captioned, it is days – even weeks – after the fact. Captioning takes time – and that time needs to be planned for when scheduling a production.
(CaptionCampaignAds.org is nonpartisan. We will issue kudos to any candidate who complies with the law.)
Kudos: Horner web ad captioned
Talked with Matt, Horner’s press secretary. Turns out that when they were embedding the YouTube ads onto their website, the captions were not passing through. They’ve since fixed that problem. Check them out (video at lower left):
