About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of television on politics, focusing on key historical moments and the relationship between politicians and media.
TV technology arrives on the scene half press and half novelty. Politicians learn they can bring messages on at times that won't be critiqued. Yet twice, in big historic moments, the TV industry realizes it has to stop simply covering and speak for itself. These moments rare but pack a punch. Also, Kennedy, LBJ and their relationship with television and magazines. Mutual dependence and communications. Favors and frustration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
