On the impact of television's pictured news

Abstract
If there is. one type of program common to all broadcasting stations, it is news. When television arrived, many thought that the addition of pictures to sound reports would create a method of news presentation that would inform the public better than any previous technique or medium. The following article reports research into this belief, to replace the unsupported talk that is far more common—on the part of both television newsmen and their rivals in other media.
