Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: A President�s State of the Union address is a special occasion in his presidency. For almost the entire year, the audience is fragmented, with the news media covering a variety of topics. Yet, on this night, all the major networks, both broadcast and cable, in addition to many radio networks, transmit the President�s speech live. Barring a national emergency, the speech may be the President�s largest audience of the year. In addition, the President addresses nearly all members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, top commanders of the military, and members of his cabinet, among many other elites. This is also the one night in the year when the President articulates his vision for the country and gives a progress report of where the country stands on key issues. The major question this paper explores is, to what extent can the President set the agenda for the mainstream press through this speech and in what ways is he limited? When the President proposes and emphasizes an important new policy initiative in his speech � in this paper, a new energy policy -- in what ways, if any, will he set the agenda for the press in terms of what they report on in the weeks and months ahead? Or is the new policy merely reported on the next day and soon forgotten? Does the President�s framing of an issue influence how the press subsequently frames it or do the news media continue to frame the issue as they did before the speech?
