20th Century Fox and the 2012 FEC election cycle

20th Century Fox crossed with 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — 20th Century Fox and 2012 — sum to $681,662. 257 itemized contributions and 58 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.

Neither the 20th Century Fox hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Fifty-eight donors and 257 lines in 2012 sit under the 20th Century Fox stored spelling. Twentieth spelled out is a neighbor if filers used it. Later Disney-era labels do not recode this 2012 cell. Box-office figures are not this table. TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX, FOX, NEWS CORP, and generic ENTERTAINMENT occupation strings are other keys if stored separately.

7.8% of the 20th Century Fox roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,709,671 ($8.7 million). The 2012 slice of $681,662 is about 7.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 92.2%. Treating 2012 as the 20th Century Fox FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $8,709,671 as the denominator for the 7.8% 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 2012 from being folded silently into $8,709,671.

257 contributions from 58 donors

Dividing $681,662 by 257 contributions yields about $2,652 per itemized gift. Dividing by 58 donors yields about $11,753 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 4.4. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

58 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for 20th Century Fox 2012 holds the rows.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. 20th Century Fox is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and 20th Century Fox to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $681,662 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 257 contributions, the 58 unique donors, and the 7.8% share of $8,709,671.

Limits of the 20th Century Fox × 2012 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $681,662. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a motion-picture NAICS total and not a studio PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 58 donors, and 257 contributions. TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX, FOX, NEWS CORP, and generic ENTERTAINMENT occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing 20th Century Fox and 2012 together

Start with $681,662, then 20th Century Fox 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: 20th Century Fox, 2012, $681,662, 257 contributions, 58 donors, 7.8% of $8,709,671, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 7.8% share, the 58-donor count, and the $2,652 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
