Abstract

This article analyzes President Ronald Reagan's radio addresses by placing them into seven categories: general defense of the administration, domestic issues, foreign policy, defense policy or anti‐Soviet, social issues, epideictic, and campaign, as well as several subcategories. Based on this categorization, the study argues that Reagan's rhetorical practice was both more inclusive and more moderate than has been realized and that Reagan was an involved principal in the creation of the radio speeches.
