Inauguration Media Coverage 2013

On Midday Monday, millions of people around the world tuned in to watch the President and Vice President sworn into office. During this ceremony the renewal of their oath and a nine-teen minute inaugural speech was delivered worldwide, along with performances from various artists such as Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson. Since this holiday only occurs once every four years, the inauguration was expected to have plenty of publicity, celebrities, media coverage and an even bigger crowd. But for those millions of people that cannot make it to Washington D.C. or simply want to avoid traffic all together, that’s where technology comes into play. Internet, radio, and T.V. stations were ready to broadcast the 44^th president of United States, President Barack Obama for a 2^nd term in office. With a live crowd cheering for President Obama and Vice President Biden, everyone else can sit back and enjoy the show live at home. News stations such as CNN, NBC, ABC, B.E.T, CBS, and many more were recording a moment in history. If there were people that wanted live coverage online, websites such as Whitehouse.gov were also broadcasting the inauguration. In addition, New York Times and Whitehouse provided President Obama’s Inaugural dialogue transcript for those who would rather read the context during the Inaugural address. Media coverage was definitely up-to-date early Tuesday morning to make sure no one missed a historic moment.
