The press is mentioned in the First Amendment of the Constitution but is not a formal division of our government and yet is often considered powerful enough to be one. The press's abilities to dig into a scandal or ignore a scandal or invent a scandal and to influence public opinion make it very powerful, powerful enough to be a "major agent of government change."

(To change it would require an amendment to the Constitution, and that takes time to achieve.)
