TR & the media

Compare TR's experience with the media with that of the current president. Speculate on how modern media, such as television and the Internet, might have helped or hindered TR if he were president today. For example, how might TR have fared under the close scrutiny now given to all presidents and presidential candidates? How did TR make "modern" use of the media to foster a particular image of himself?
