The Media, the Internet and the President

I have always found the government book chapters on the media to be rather poor, so I end up supplementing it with video like this from the National Geographic website.  This video tells how picture of Obama are selected and released and shows him doing his weekly "radio" (now Internet) broadcast.  It also compares this to LBJ who personally approved all the photos released from the White House. Here is another video which talks about how pictures have been taking of presidents over the centuries.
