PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
On May 9, 1961, Newton Minow, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, invited Americans to spend a day in front of their television sets. He promised that they would witness a "vast wasteland." "When television is good nothing, not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers, nothing is better," he says. "But when television is bad, nothing is worse." Minow's speech, which blasts the shallowness of television content, as well as the prevalence of on-air violence, is considered a landmark in media criticism.
