Contract Type FiledDecember 16th, 2020 JurisdictionThe Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law (“the Brennan Center”) has purchased data from the Campaign Media Analysis Group (CMAG), an ongoing commercial enterprise whose chief asset is a database on campaign advertising. CMAG uses these data to give strategic advice on campaigning to a variety of clients including political candidates and media outlets. CMAG’s services to its current and future clients involve not only reports on contemporaneous political advertisements, but also historical reports on prior campaign media broadcasting activity in the relevant markets and contests. The Brennan Center and Professor Kenneth Goldstein of the University of Wisconsin-Madison have analyzed the CMAG data to produce a data set (“the Data”). The purpose of this Agreement is to enable academic researchers to access the data for legitimate academic use, while still protecting the commercial value of the data for CMAG’s current and future use.
