While presidential races command the most attention, the U.S. midterm elections are equally consequential. Every midterm cycle includes all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, roughly one-third of the U.S. Senate (33 or 34 seats), and thousands of state legislative seats across most states, along with many gubernatorial and local races. These state and district-level contests play a decisive role in shaping how elections are administered, how laws and policies are made, and how effectively states and communities are governed. As advertising costs rise, social media fragments audiences, and the media landscape becomes more complex, the challenge is clear: how can candidates and parties effectively reach and engage voters in these critical races that directly influence democratic outcomes and everyday life?
The Media Landscape
The media landscape is not as it was in 2022 or even 2024. There’s greater fragmentation and entire areas of the US with local news. In fact, most voters in the US have access to only a single source of local news. For those running local elections, that makes finding a supportive source of local news much harder, and even harder if they’ve endorsed your opposition. Add to that the changing nature and policies of social media platforms and an increasingly untrusting and disengaged voter base, and we have all the circumstances to create fertile ground for fake and AI-generated news.

The Cost of Fake News
Current research on the impact of Fake news on this election campaign is troubling. Two-thirds of voters under 29 cannot distinguish a fake headline from a real headline, and 50% of voters believe even badly produced fake images. These facts terrify journalists and, as the campaign and tech progress, will keep your comms team awake at night. A Lookatmedia™ newsroom allows you to provide journalists, podcasters, bloggers, and influencers with a ‘safe harbor’ where they can always find the real news on your candidate.
