American democracy is in a period of striking tumult. The clash of
a rapidly changing socio-technological environment and the
traditional presidency has led to an upheaval in the scope and
standards of executive leadership. Yet research on the presidency,
although abundant, has been slow to adjust to changing realities
associated with digital technologies, diverse audiences, and new
elite practices. Meanwhile, journalists and the public continue to
encounter and shape emerging presidential efforts in deeply
consequential ways. Joshua Scacco and Kevin Coe bring needed
insight to this complex situation by offering the first
comprehensive framework for understanding contemporary presidential
communication in relation to the current socio-technological
environment. They call this framework the "ubiquitous presidency."
Scacco and Coe argue that presidents harness new opportunities in
the media environment to create a nearly constant and highly
visible presence in political and nonpolitical arenas. They do this
by trying to achieve longstanding presidential goals, namely
visibility, adaptation, and control. However, in an environment
where accessibility, personalization, and pluralism are omnipresent
considerations, the strategies presidents use to achieve these
goals are very different from what we once knew. Using this novel
framework as a conceptual anchor, The Ubiquitous Presidency
undertakes one of the most expansive analyses of presidential
communication to date. Scacco and Coe employ a wide variety of
approaches-ranging from surveys and survey-experiments, to
large-scale automated content and network analyses, to qualitative
textual analysis-to uncover new aspects of the intricate
relationship between the president, news media, and the public.
Focusing on the presidency since Ronald Reagan, and devoting
particular attention to the cases of Barack Obama and Donald Trump,
the book uncovers remarkable shifts in communication that test the
institution of the presidency and, consequently, democratic
governance itself.
