Abstract
Early in April, 1968, just after President Johnson announced his decision not to run for reelection, and the day before the Rev. Martin Luther King was assassinated, Eldon Campbell—a member of the APBE Board of Directors and vice president and general manager of the WFBM stations in Indianapolis—commissioned the Frank Magid Associates organization in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to do a study on the divergent perceptions’ of the Negro and the white man in Indianapolis and the impact, if any, made by television on the community in relation to civil Unrest. The study, supervised by Dr. Herschel Shosteck, resulted in two volumes of reports that presently are being used to advantage in Indianapolis. It should be noted that the WFBM stations sponsored this research as a public service, and that station call letters do not appear in the report. This article was prepared from the summary chapter in the second volume of the report, The Impact of Television on Civil Unrest.
