These bios are written in plain English – no fancy jargon, just the facts you need to know.

We also spot patterns across administrations. Did you know eight presidents died in office? Or that the longest-serving president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, held the role for over twelve years? Look for the “Oldest Form of Media” post to see how newspapers first reported presidential news and how that has evolved into today’s digital feeds.

Scrolling further, you’ll find analysis on how US presidents influence UK policy. Articles compare the media coverage of the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal, showing how American political narratives filter into British headlines. If you’re curious about media bias, the posts “Is the Financial Times Left‑Wing?” and “Is the Wall Street Journal Conservative or Liberal?” give you context on how US political stories are framed overseas.
