Publisher occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Publisher as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation PUBLISHER and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $373,110 ($373,110), 386 contributions, and 180 donors. 4.3% of Publisher occupation dollars ($8,639,602) fall in 2014. 2014 is a midterm media-title cell with 386 receipts and 180 donors, a one-word PUBLISHER stamp rather than an imprint census.

Publisher is a one-word media-or-books title as typed, not an imprint recode. Nearby strings — EDITOR, JOURNALIST, MEDIA, and BOOK PUBLISHER — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $373,110 or $8,639,602. Editor and Journalist remain other keys; Book Publisher, if stored, sits elsewhere. The FEC file does not verify a named imprint, a periodical, or a newsroom seat.

The PUBLISHER string across cycles

On the occupation side, $8,639,602 ($8.6 million) is the Publisher total across cycles. The 2014 cell is 4.3% of that roll; the remaining $8,266,492 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Publisher is not an Audit Bureau circulation file and not a named-masthead roster. Publisher is not an ISBN imprint census, a newspaper-owner file, or a magazine PAC.

Open Publisher donations for the $8,639,602 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2014 cell, 386 itemized contributions map to 180 donors. That is about 2.1 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $967; dollars per donor average about $2,073. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2014 is a midterm FEC clock (House and Senate contests without a presidential ticket on the same ballot). This packet does not split dollars by chamber, primary versus general, or party. The 2014 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Publisher row. 180 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2014, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $373,110.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $373,110 attached to 2014 and $8,639,602 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2014 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($8,266,492) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $373,110 with both nouns: Publisher and 2014.

What a Publisher cycle join cannot claim

Matching Publisher with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Publisher donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an ISBN imprint census, a newspaper-owner file, or a magazine PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $373,110. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked publisher hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Publisher donations holds the $8,639,602 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Publisher. All occupations places PUBLISHER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (EDITOR, JOURNALIST, MEDIA, and BOOK PUBLISHER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $373,110 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Publisher dollars ($8,639,602). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $373,110, 386 contributions, 180 donors, 4.3% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $373,110; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $8,639,602. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Publisher-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Publisher grouping’s 2014 cell is $373,110 in itemized individual contributions, from 386 contributions and 180 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $8,639,602 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Publisher mean books, newspapers, or something else?

The stored string is PUBLISHER with no medium. Book, magazine, newspaper, and software uses are not split. Editor and Journalist are other keys. This join does not confirm a named imprint or recode those titles into PUBLISHER. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Publisher in 2014 is $373,110 on 386 receipts from 180 donors.

What share of Publisher FEC money fell in 2014?

About 4.3%. $373,110 divided by $8,639,602 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $8,266,492 on the occupation hub. See the Publisher occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Publisher 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. $373,110 is itemized receipts tagged PUBLISHER in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
