With these strategies, presidents tend to influence the media's agenda. In fact, presidential leadership of the news media provides an important avenue for indirect presidential leadership of the public, the president's ultimate target audience. Although frequently left out of sophisticated treatments of the public presidency, the media are directly incorporated into this book's theoretical approach and analysis. The authors find that when the public expresses real concern about an issue, such as high unemployment, the president tends to be responsive. But when the president gives attention to an issue in which the public does not have a preexisting interest, he can expect, through the news media, to directly influence public opinion. Eshbaugh-Soha and Peake offer key insights on when presidents are likely to have their greatest leadership successes and demonstrate that presidents can indeed "break through the noise" of news coverage to lead the public agenda.Studies in the modern presidency.PresidentsUnited StatesPresidentsPress coverageUnited StatesGovernment and the pressUnited StatesPress and politicsUnited StatesCommunication in politicsUnited StatesPublic relations and politicsUnited StatesPolitical leadershipUnited StatesPublic opinionUnited StatesPresidentsPresidentsPress coverageGovernment and the pressPress and politicsCommunication in politicsPublic relations and politicsPolitical leadershipPublic opinion352.23/60973Eshbaugh-Soha Matthew1972-1479546Peake Jeffrey S.1970-1479547MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781703303321Breaking through the noise3695710UNINA
