Donald Trump made history with a presidential campaign that had never really been seen before, and maybe wont ever be seen again. He was somewhat of a novelty in comparison to his seemingly boring and predictable running mates.

The ability for literally anyone to fire off a tweet in less than 30 seconds, remain anonymous and say whatever it is they feel is both a gift and a curse. For some it allows for sharing good news and important causes. For others, petty arguments like Bush and Clinton had.

It feels almost ironic to take to Twitter to discuss the way social media impacts politics, but it certainly can't be dismissed. Like mentioned in the NPR article, social media has become a platform for thoughts- good and bad. Things that should stay on the post-it notes at home.

I think Nackey Scripps Loeb could have a movie created about her life from what I've read thus far. Even her childhood of growing up in a big family with room to explore and fend for herself makes for a great story. Then goes on to become a massive part of political media herself

I thought it was so interesting to hear about Mrs.Bush getting rather upset with Myra Gutin about claiming she "screamed at her children." You would think that for a mother, this might not be a big deal, but Mrs. Bush was bothered by it after a rocky relationship with her mother.

Gerald Ford was admired by the media for his willingness to work for himself. He was considered relatable and admirable for still "toasting his own muffins." This portrayal from the press positively impacted the entire world's view of Ford.

When considering how Journalism History covers the introduction of broadcasting within politics, I think about what innovations we might be on the cusp of today. Much like the 1920s and 30s we are seeing so much advancement. Video streaming, podcasts, virtual reality.What's next?

Lyndon B. Johnson was determined to really outdo his previous presidents and this was evident by his quick work of progress within only a few short months in office. He established strong press connections that would later be described as a "love-hate relationship."

The Johnsons had been planning their escape from the perils of presidency and first ladyship for years, but in the midst of the Vietnam war and racial upset, there was only a few days between the speech of his announcement and the killing of Dr. MLKJ.

I think it's also funny that General Grant loved "sitting behind a pair of spirited animals" in much of the same way a car lover today enjoys fast cars. A great indicator of the times.

All good journalist know how hard remaining unbiased can be, and there is no better topic to consider this idea than when discussing Liberal media. Political opinion is often times one of the most polarizing topics and avoiding any bias when reporting on such topics is difficult.

Although Abraham Zapruder captured one of the most tragic events in American history, there was always part of him that wishes he had never taken his camera out that day. As a Kennedy family fan, it was a heartbreaking event that weighed heavily on the man for years to follow.

Richard Nixon's patience with the media was running exceptionally thin after losing not one, but two elections. At a 1962 news conference he told the press that they've "had Dick Nixon to kick around" but he would no longer be participating in such conferences.

[Loewy Noud @LoewyNoud]

I can recall following along with election results and I've considered how often times they don't portray any actual finality in results. I didn't recognize there was such a deep history of polling practices and find the discussion of the "sheep effect" to be interesting.

[Loewy Noud @LoewyNoud]

In all of my years seeing political ads in so many different mediums, I never really considered how much funding is truly required for these ads. Like discussed with Baker, creating an ad that is effective is truly a million dollar+ investment. Their impact is substantial.

Clifton Daniel talked about how President Truman was insistent that there should be a quiet outside area where the first family could sit privately- this prompted the addition of the Truman Balcony

I had no idea that the White House was ever really constructionally unsound- it makes sense that the Roosevelts left the home in questionable conditions, but the Trumans entered the home with a rat problem and the walls "falling down around them."

I was shocked to read that Ethel still has an unmarked headstone even with all of her influence and impact on the world of journalism- she deserves far more recognition.

[Loewy Noud @LoewyNoud]

Ethel Payne was not only a pioneer for black people in journalism, but a pioneer for women in the press. Her coverage of the Little Rock Nine Desegregation, March on Washington, Emmett Till and more, have all gained her a rightful place in incredible journalism history.

Today, historians are working to uncover and reconsider the former First Lady and journalist and recognize her strengths and additions to politics

One of the most exciting aspects of history is getting to reconsider the things we know as we continue to learn more about the people of our past: Florence Harding is a perfect example of someone who was "maligned and so trivialized and treated misogynistically" explained Sibley.
