Abstract

Television

Television (TV) is roundly, and often justly, attacked by serious people for its low aims and lower achievements. But every now and then TV promises, even as the bad boy of the story books, qualities of maturity which belong peculiarly to the print medium: freedom to move around in space and thought; ability to respond quickly and sensitively to the concerns of the audience, to make people and issues close and real. This was well demonstrated by the recent discussions on the television network Columbia Broadcasting System Inc., starting with a See It Now program entitled "The Farm Problem - A Crisis of Abundance."
