FEC individual gifts: Editor in 2010

How Editor and 2010 meet in FEC itemized receipts

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string EDITOR. The other is the 2010 federal election cycle. The match is $253,373, built from 448 contributions and 184 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2010 is a midterm FEC window. 448 contributions from 184 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. EDITOR is the one-word title. Editor in chief, managing editor, and writer remain other keys if typed that way. The join does not assign a publication, verify a byline, or split book versus news editing. Book, magazine, and news editors can share the same typed word. This page does not split those desks or recode WRITER into EDITOR. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $253,373. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.

What the EDITOR label covers

Editor donations is the occupation hub: $12,055,499 ($12.1 million) across cycles from filers who typed EDITOR. Sibling strings (EDITOR IN CHIEF, SENIOR EDITOR, and WRITER) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a masthead census, a newsroom PAC, or a merge with WRITER.

2010’s $253,373 sits inside $12,055,499. Because 2.1% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the leftover outside 2010 is $11,802,126 (97.9%). Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2010 as the second dimension.

What the 2010 election cycle contributes to Editor

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Editor. $253,373 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.

448 contributions from 184 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.4 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $566; mean per donor about $1,377. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $253,373. Three numbers define the Editor × 2010 cell: dollars $253,373, contribution rows 448, unique donors 184. Share of occupation dollars is 2.1% of $12,055,499.

Limits of the Editor 2010 occupation-cycle table

Matching Editor with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Editor donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a masthead census, a newsroom PAC, or a merge with WRITER.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. EDITOR is the one-word title. Editor in chief, managing editor, and writer remain other keys if typed that way. The join does not assign a publication, verify a byline, or split book versus news editing. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $253,373 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Editor and 2010 tables

Editor donations holds the $12,055,499 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Editor. All occupations places EDITOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (EDITOR IN CHIEF, SENIOR EDITOR, and WRITER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $253,373 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Editor dollars ($12,055,499). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $253,373, 448 contributions, 184 donors, 2.1% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Repeat gifts inside Editor 2010

448 contributions from 184 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. Name matching can split or merge people across filings, so 184 is an index unique-person count for this pair, not a professional-association census.

448 is the row count. $253,373 is the dollar count. Neither is a license count. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Occupation labels remain filer-entered. Book, magazine, and news editors can share the same typed word. This page does not split those desks or recode WRITER into EDITOR.

Questions

How much did Editor-labeled donors give in 2010?

The Editor grouping’s 2010 cell is $253,373 in itemized individual contributions, from 448 contributions and 184 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $12,055,499 all-cycle occupation total.

Are these newspaper editors only?

Not necessarily. EDITOR is the occupation string as typed. FEC aggregates do not encode employer or medium. The 2010 cycle filter on Editor is $253,373, 448 contributions, and 184 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $12,055,499. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized receipts.

What share of Editor FEC money fell in 2010?

About 2.1%. $253,373 divided by $12,055,499 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 97.9% ($11,802,126) on the occupation hub. See the Editor occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Editor 2010 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $253,373 is itemized receipts tagged EDITOR in 2010, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
