Editor occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Searchers who want Editor money for 2014 need the join, not the occupation hub and not the cycle hub. The join is $268,376 across 438 itemized contributions and 183 donors. FEC.gov is the source. $12,055,499 is the all-cycle denominator; 2014 is 2.2%. EDITOR in 2014 is a one-word media title. FEC.gov does not confirm masthead rank, book versus news work, or that the filer still edited that cycle.

Key figures

  • $268,376 joins the Editor occupation string to the 2014 FEC cycle.
  • 438 contributions from 183 donors produced that cell.
  • 2014 is about 2.2% of the occupation’s $12,055,499 lifetime total.
  • EDITOR is a filer-entered title, not an ASNE membership roll.
  • FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.

Editor as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation EDITOR and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $268,376 ($0.27 million), 438 contributions, and 183 donors. 2.2% of Editor occupation dollars ($12,055,499) fall in 2014.

2014 is an even-year federal cycle labeled 2014 on FEC.gov, a midterm FEC window in itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2014 dollars. A 2012 Editor cell would be a different join against the same occupation total. Do not add that year into this 2014 figure. Writer, journalist, and publisher remain other keys. This page does not recode those titles into EDITOR.

A media title, not a Writer or Journalist bucket

On the occupation side, $12,055,499 is the Editor total across cycles. Sibling labels (WRITER, JOURNALIST, and PUBLISHER) stay on other pages. Editor is not an ASNE membership roll, a masthead census, or a publisher PAC.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $12,055,499. The Editor donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $268,376 is a slice of. Dividing $268,376 by 438 receipts yields about $613 per line; dividing by 183 donors yields about $1,467 per person. Those ratios are arithmetic, not medians.

183 donors inside the 2014 midterm window

The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Editor. $268,376 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2012 presidential window and not a later presidential cycle.

438 itemized lines from 183 unique donors is about 2.4 receipts per donor. Mean per line about $613; mean per donor about $1,467. About 2.4 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $268,376. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale media-title cell in a midterm window. Three numbers define the Editor × 2014 cell: dollars $268,376, contribution rows 438, unique donors 183. Share of occupation dollars is 2.2% of $12,055,499.

What Editor dollars in 2014 are not

Matching Editor with 2014 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 an ASNE membership roll, a masthead census, or a publisher PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. A 2012 Editor cell would be a different join against the same occupation total. Do not add that year into this 2014 figure. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $268,376 funded USAspending obligations.

How to cite Editor × 2014

A complete claim names Editor and 2014, then $268,376, 438 contributions, 183 donors, and 2.2% of $12,055,499, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 183 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Editor and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $613 and mean per donor $1,467 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and Writer as a sibling

Editor donations holds the $12,055,499 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Editor. All occupations places EDITOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (WRITER, JOURNALIST, and PUBLISHER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $268,376 is not added to a different year. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

The occupation hub still holds $11,787,123 (97.8%) outside 2014. Most of the $12,055,499 roll is not this cycle’s cell. Writer, journalist, and publisher remain other keys. This page does not recode those titles into EDITOR. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.4. That ratio is 438 divided by 183, not a measure of turnout. Quote both keys: Editor and 2014. Quote the dollars: $268,376. Quote the volume: 438 contributions, 183 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov.

Questions

How much did Editor-labeled donors give in 2014?
The Editor grouping’s 2014 cell is $268,376 in itemized individual contributions, from 438 contributions and 183 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. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
Does Editor include journalists who typed Writer?
Only if they typed EDITOR. WRITER and JOURNALIST are separate occupation pages if those spellings were stored. The 2014 cycle filter on Editor is $268,376, 438 contributions, and 183 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $12,055,499.
What share of Editor FEC money fell in 2014?
About 2.2%. $268,376 divided by $12,055,499 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 97.8% ($11,787,123) on the occupation hub. See the Editor occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.
Does Editor 2014 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. $268,376 is itemized receipts tagged EDITOR in 2014, not an obligation total. Cite the 2014 intersection as $268,376 and 438 contributions from 183 donors, not the $12,055,499 occupation total.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
