description This article examines the declining audience for presidential speeches and for political news in general. Because of these changes, presidents now face a significantly more difficult task in getting messages through to the entire public than at any time since the birth of the mass media.

The presidential audience is now highly skewed in terms of age, with young adults being less and less likely to follow presidential actions.
