Publisher in 2012 is $342,184 in itemized individual contributions. FEC.gov counts 351 contributions from 73 donors against the stored string PUBLISHER. Other cycles hold $7,339,663 (95.5%) of the $7,681,847 lifetime total. The relationship is self-reported occupation/industry word crossed with a two-year cycle, not a publishing-house PAC, a NAICS publishing rollup, or named imprints stored as other employer keys.

Key figures

  • Publisher and 2012 together: $342,184.
  • Counts: 351 contributions, 73 donors.
  • Share of stored Publisher money: about 4.5% of $7,681,847.
  • Not a PAC total and not a NAICS industry rollup.
  • Live overlay and FEC.gov override this snapshot if they differ.

Reading $342,184 as an intersection

$342,184 is the amount that survives both filters. The occupation filter is Publisher (PUBLISHER). The cycle filter is 2012. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 351 lines, and the 73 donors.

Because the grouping is self-reported occupation/industry word, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.

Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for Publisher. Use the 2012 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.

The $7,681,847 denominator

Divide $342,184 by $7,681,847 and the result is about 4.5%. The complementary share is 95.5%, or $7,339,663 outside 2012. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$7,681,847 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched PUBLISHER in any cycle in this table. The denominator $7,681,847 is every cycle stored for PUBLISHER, not revenue and not assets. $342,184 over $7,681,847 is about 4.5%. The leftover $7,339,663 is other even-year windows on the Publisher hub.
