What political contributions have other NBCUniversal executives (e.g., Linda Yaccarino) made in 2022–2024?

1. What the public organizational records in this batch actually show

OpenSecrets’ organization profile for “NBCUniversal Media” states that NBCUniversal Media did not make direct contributions to any federal candidate in the 2024 election cycle; the profile’s methodology covers PACs and individual contributions of $200 or more ^[1]. The broader OpenSecrets totals and lobbying pages in this set are organizational-level records—useful for party breakdowns and PAC flows—but they do not provide a list of named executives’ personal donations in the 2022–2024 period in these search results ^{[3] [4]}.

2. The Comcast/NBCUniversal PAC is active and reportable to the FEC

Federal-level corporate PAC activity for Comcast/NBCUniversal is recorded at the FEC under “COMCAST CORPORATION & NBCUNIVERSAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE,” which is an active, qualifying corporation PAC that files two-year period reports including 2023–2024 and 2021–2022 ^[2]. That confirms an institutional avenue for political giving tied to the company, but PAC records and corporate profiles do not automatically disclose every personal contribution by individual executives in the provided material ^[2].

3. Why the sources here don’t answer the “which executives gave” question

The Harvard Future of Media Project found only a minority of top media executives publicly give to parties (14.5% across a sampled set), showing that individual executive giving is uneven and requires name-level FEC searches to confirm ^[5]. The dataset provided to me does not include an FEC name-by-name query or an OpenSecrets individual-donor extract for Linda Yaccarino or other specific NBCUniversal executives for 2022–2024, so available sources do not list those personal contributions ^{[5] [3]}.

4. What a complete answer would require (and why it matters)

To identify personal political contributions by Linda Yaccarino or other NBCUniversal executives from 2022–2024, you would need name-based searches in FEC databases or OpenSecrets individual donor pages and possibly state-level campaign finance systems; the organizational pages here are necessary context but not sufficient ^{[3] [2]}. This matters because corporate PAC activity and individual donations can point in different directions: a company PAC’s pattern (reported to the FEC) may not match the personal giving patterns of its executives or board members ^{[2] [5]}.

5. Conflicting perspectives and limitations in current reporting

News coverage in this set focuses on editorial and employment controversies rather than compiling executive donation lists—AP reporting about NBC News’ use of political contributors highlights the corporate debate over partisanship and on-air contributors rather than executive donor rolls ^[6]. InfluenceWatch and other organizational profiles trace philanthropic and foundation activity but are not a substitute for FEC disclosures when seeking individual donor records ^[7]. Therefore, available sources do not mention specific 2022–2024 personal donations by Linda Yaccarino or named NBCUniversal executives.

6. How to proceed if you want a definitive list

Run name-based searches on the FEC committee/donor database and OpenSecrets’ individual donor pages for the executives you care about (Linda Yaccarino, Cesar Conde, Stephen Burke, etc.), and check state-level disclosure systems for nonfederal donations; the Comcast/NBCUniversal PAC FEC page can be used to trace corporate PAC disbursements ^{[2] [3]}. The Harvard Future of Media Project provides a methodological example for mapping executive giving across many outlets, showing why a systematic, name-level approach is necessary ^[5].

Sources cited above are the only ones used for factual claims in this piece; for named-executive contribution details, available sources in this packet do not include the requisite name-level FEC or OpenSecrets individual-donor extracts ^{[1] [3] [2] [5] [6] [7]}.
