New York Times News Service-Smaller, but very influential group of reporters. Other newspapers follow their lead • TV Outlets-ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, NBC- all share stories • Talk Radio-started with “Fireside Chats”

  4. News Media • Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first to be very effective with the radio. Now the President gets more coverage than all the rest of the government put together. Sometimes it is positive(FDR & JFK) other times it is negative (G.
