  • Obamacare, the News Media, and the Politics of 21St-Century Presidential Communication
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 1275–1299 1932–8036/20150005 Obamacare, the News Media, and the Politics of 21st-Century Presidential Communication JENNIFER HOPPER1 Washington College, USA Studies of presidential framing and the media lead to contrary expectations of whether the president would be able to reframe a pejorative name for a major legislative achievement and alter its news coverage. The case of President Obama and the use of the term “Obamacare” to refer to the Affordable Care Act requires rethinking what we know about presidential communication strategies and contemporary news norms. Obama’s embrace of the Obamacare moniker spread among supporters and led to its appearance with more positive/neutral depictions of the policy in the media. The term also has become more prominent in the news over time, raising questions about loosening standards of news objectivity and the future of this contested term. Keywords: presidency, news media, Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, presidential communication U.S. presidents face formidable challenges in attempting to frame policies and shape political debates, particularly in the 21st-century media environment. Given that presidential attempts to positively frame their positions for the media and the public require substantial time and effort with no guarantee of success, working to co-opt and reframe the established language of the president’s opponents is an even more daunting project. Yet this is precisely the endeavor President Barack Obama and his surrogates embarked on in late March 2012, when they embraced the term “Obamacare” and sought to use it in service of promoting and defending the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.
