It is true that lots of Americans are left out with news and related from the white House or Washington in general. If only 20% of Americans aged 18-24 read daily news papers, it means 80% of Americans within this age group have other media sources from which they red news. Otherwise, they are not touch by the things happening in America and the world at large. And if Network and cable news program is a target to the aging who are already getting into their sixties, then, there's a need to revolutionize the media such that a wider range of audience could be reached.
The President of the United State is doing a great job trying to go beyond the traditional media outlet such as CNN and Fox, even though most of his interviews have been granted through these media. To and extend, President Obama is granting interviews with newer media outlet, most of them are linked online and on social media. By this way, President Obama is able to reach out to a good number of younger Americans who will spend an enormous hours of their day online and will by some way will come across links with the latest news bulletin. According to the text with the link above, it is clear that a wider range of different age groups are now reached particularly on social media like YouTube with thousands of viewers following Washington related issues.
It is therefore agreed that future presidents should as well focus on some of these newer media outlets rather than just the traditional media to transmit information about politics, since they will be able to reached a good number of American within the different age groups.
