Key figures
- Publisher × 2010 is $242,951 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 248 contributions from 55 donors.
- 2010 is about 3.2% of the grouping’s $7,681,847 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a publishing NAICS total and not a publishers PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Publisher crossed with 2010
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Publisher and 2010 — sum to $242,951. 248 itemized contributions and 55 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. PUBLISHER is a one-word occupation-style grouping. The 2010 filter does not split books, newspapers, magazines, or software publishing. It only keeps receipts whose grouped field matches this string in that cycle.
Neither the Publisher hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Publisher hub is the year index for this string. PUBLISHING, EDITOR, and house legal names stay on their own keys if filers used them. Federal media awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.
3.2% of the Publisher roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7.7 million ($7,681,847). The 2010 slice of $242,951 is about 3.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.8%. Treating 2010 as the Publisher FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $7,681,847 as the denominator for the 3.2% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $7,681,847.

Questions
- How much did Publisher donors give in 2010?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $242,951 in itemized individual contributions for the Publisher grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 248 contributions and 55 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $7,681,847 all-cycle figure. Filings remain on FEC.gov. Quote packet facts only.
- What share of Publisher FEC money is 2010?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,681,847. The 2010 cell of $242,951 is about 3.2% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.8% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Publisher hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is this Publisher’s PAC or an official account?
- No. $242,951 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Publisher. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a publishing NAICS total and not a publishers PAC.
- Where is the overlay for the Publisher 2010 join?
- Open Publisher 2010 for the cycle overlay, Publisher for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Original filings remain on FEC.gov.
