He understood the importance of the press in governance

Governments frequently view journalists as a burden on their administration and prefer not to release updates through such means. However, journalists are the most important component of any administration in contemporary society, where the media has a tremendous impact on the lives of many people. President Coolidge was aware of this truth, which is why he preferred to communicate with the public this way rather than through Congress. The 1920s, also referred to as the "Roaring 20s," continue to fascinate us today. This decade will be remembered for its glitz, quick economic growth, and creativity and innovation.

But everything has a negative aspect as well. An eventual economic crash was caused by causes such as unbridled consumerism and borrowing, as well as corruption in business and politics. Between 1923 through 1929, Calvin Coolidge served as president of the United States and oversaw these occasions. He had some intriguing perspectives on the relationship between business and government as a fiscal conservative who typically backed business and commerce. Ray Nothstine at the Acton Institute highlights some of these ideas by looking at Coolidge’s 1925 address to the New York Chamber of Commerce.

First, Coolidge decried the collusion of government and business interests, though he did not see this as much of a threat: “While there has been in the past and will be in the future a considerable effort in this country of different business interests to attempt to run the Government in such a way as to set up a system of privilege…these efforts have been very largely discredited, and with reasonable vigilance on the part of the people to preserve their freedom do not now appear to be dangerous.” He offered press releases twice every week to ensure that transparency became one of the main features in his leadership. Also, he regularly provided his comments to the media informally.
