"...the book uses analytical narratives and quantitative analysis on descriptive and bivariate levels. The language in the book is academic without being excessively technical." -- S. Mitropolitski, University of Ottawa, CHOICE

"The authors conclude that the ubiquitous presidency has become characteristic of the US's highest executive office and expect this quality to stay dominant during the Biden presidency. Methodologically, the book uses analytical narratives and quantitative analysis on descriptive and bivariate levels." -- S. Mitropolitski, CHOICE

"As Coe and Scacco trace the past 30 years of the presidency and shifts in media attention and use by presidents, the historical development of ubiquity is where this book truly shines. ... Impressively, throughout the book, they aim not only to seek how...untraditional outlets and social media platforms like Twitter drive journalistic coverage...they compellingly trace the relationship between tweets and public discourse writ large, and also give accountings of "newer" forms of conceptually meaningful presidential communication." -- The International Journal of Press/Politics

"With engaging prose and compelling data, Scacco and Coe construct a history of presidential communication strategies to highlight the benefits and dangers of the contemporary digital environment as it becomes the ubiquitous presidency.
