This marks a major shift in American civic participation. Activities that just 20 years ago took place solely in person or by telephone have been supplanted or augmented by online participation
-Americans today can gather information about government and politics much more easily than their parents or grandparents could. Websites devoted to political issues are commonplace. News outlets, government agencies, Congress, political parties, universities, and various interest groups all host websites designed to inform, entertain, or persuade Americans
-During the 2012 presidential election, President Barack Obama made headlines when he hosted an “Ask Me Anything” question-and-answer session on the then up-and-coming social news site Reddit.

Media have covered the government since George Washington was president
-Today, citizens have access to more media than ever before. However, all news is not alike. Digital media have enabled citizens to act as amateur journalists and professional journalists to be on the job anytime and everywhere.
-A government news release is a ready-made story prepared by officials for members of the press. Also called a press release, it can be printed or broadcast word-for-word or used as background information
-The president and the mass media, especially television, have a mutually beneficial relationship. As one of the most powerful government officials in the world, the president is a great source of news. Most television coverage of U.S. government officials focuses on the president.
-Around 1900, candidates began using advertisements in newspapers and magazines and mass mailings of campaign literature. In 1924 candidates began radio campaigning, and in 1952 the Eisenhower campaign began television advertising.
-Much of the media’s coverage of the judiciary is related to criminal trials. Generally, journalists have access to trials, in part because the Sixth Amendment guarantees a defendant’s right to a public trial
