Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - Other International Politics Topics, grade: A, University of Ibadan, course: Journalism, language: English, abstract: Lobbying is seen as a dirty word in the political space. It has been compared to subverting the interests of others, deliberate use of positions, personality, power and wealth swing the mind of policymakers in a certain way. Media portrayal of lobbying often gives the impression that those who lobby do that to the detriment of the whole public. It is also seen as that area of government or public life that is wielded away from the public gaze. Be that as it may, the word lobby comes from the incident that occurred after the fire that burned the first American White House, President Ulysses Grant, who was living in a hotel at the time, protested about the involvement of all the people who were waiting on the ground floor (lobby) to try to sway him. The word hasn't changed. While the term may have acquired wider usage in Washington, D.C. as a result of this activity during the Grant Administration, the Oxford English Dictionary lists several recorded uses of the term long before Grant's presidency, including use in Pennsylvania as early as 1808.
