d. targeting group resources on key election races.
IS A CORRECT?THANKS AGAIN:))))
Right again, Vedrana. You're on a roll! :-)
To determine which of the options is not included in outside lobbying, we need to understand what outside lobbying refers to.
Outside lobbying refers to efforts made by interest groups to influence policymakers and public opinion through indirect means, rather than by directly engaging with policymakers.
a. Face-to-face exchanges between lobbyists and policymakers are a form of direct lobbying, not outside lobbying. Therefore, option a is included in outside lobbying.
b. Campaign contributions to legislators who favor the interest group are a common practice in outside lobbying. Interest groups often donate money to politicians who support their causes in order to gain influence. Therefore, option b is included in outside lobbying.
c. The use of news media to influence policymakers is a widespread method of outside lobbying. Interest groups often try to shape public opinion by using media outlets to disseminate their message and push for certain policies. Therefore, option c is included in outside lobbying.
d. Targeting group resources on key election races is also a strategy employed by interest groups in outside lobbying. By focusing their resources, such as money and volunteers, on specific election races, interest groups attempt to influence the outcome and promote candidates who align with their interests. Therefore, option d is included in outside lobbying.
Based on the explanations above, we can conclude that none of the options is correct, as they all involve tactics that are included in outside lobbying.
