The simple answer is that President Reagan knew how to deal with the Soviets, just as Nixon and Eisenhower did. He didn't give an inch during any treaty negotiations, kept pressure up during key moments in history during his time in office (e.g., Sandanista/Contras, stopping the Cuban buildup on Grenada, helping the Mujahadeen during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, sticking it to Iran whenever possible, Beirut, etc.).

How many presidents were in the cold war?
There were 5 u.s presidents during the cold war
How did president Reagan and bush help bring about the end of the cold war?
Uhh...actually, Reagan prolonged the life of it. Carter realized the Soviet Union was on the verge of collapse so he was willing to wait them out. Reagan decided to outspend them and in doing so revitalized the USSR. They eventually collapsed, but if Carter had won reelection it would happened by 1983.

How did Ronald Reagan's actions contribute to the end of the cold war?
From the autumn of 1986 through the end of his presidency in January 1989 President Reagan was in fact moving steadily closer to a working accommodation with Mr. Gorbachev, conducting a series of summit meetings and signing a major arms control agreement.
How can media texts be constructed to support an agenda or interpretation?
Easy example from the joke archives of the Cold war: Reagan and Gorbachev ran a race. Reagan came first, Gorbachev came second. American media reported that Reagan beat Gorbachev, showing true American competitive spirit. Soviet media reported: President Gorbachev secured a wonderful silver medal. Reagan came next-to-last. Both true. The sad on the funny, you see it too often.
