Informational campaign
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An informational campaign is a political campaign designed to raise public awareness and support for the positions of a candidate (or his party).[1] It is more intense than a paper campaign, which consists of little more than filing the necessary papers to get on the ballot, but is less intense than a competitive campaign, which aims to actually win election to the office. An informational campaign typically focuses on low-cost outreach such as news releases, getting interviewed in the paper, making a brochure for door to door distribution, organizing poll workers, etc.[2] Ron Paul's campaign for U.S. President was described as an informational campaign.[3]
