Featuring now through 2013, “Every Four Years: Presidential Campaigns and the Press.” Every four years, Americans elect a president. And every four years, battle lines are drawn as presidential candidates and reporters face off in the conflict zone known as “the campaign trail.”
The Newseum’s new election-year exhibit, “Every Four Years: Presidential Campaigns and the Press,” explores how media coverage of presidential campaigns has evolved from William McKinley’s 1896 front porch campaign to Barack Obama’s 2008 Internet campaign, as candidates and reporters tangle over issues, images and control of the story.
The exhibit features interactive activities and an original video on televised campaign ads, shown on a 100-foot-wide video screen in the Robert H. and Clarice Smith Big Screen Theater.
