	World Analogue Television Standards and Waveforms
		The most basic difference between television standards is the number of lines per field and the number of fields per second, as determined by the line and field scanning frequencies.
		An additional effect is produced because many television cameras and telecine units employ a technique called 'contours out of green' in which the the waveforms used for horizontal and vertical aperture correction are derived not from the luminance signal obtained by matrixing the three colour channels, but from the green channel alone.
		The art of radio transmission was quite mature at the time of the introduction of television, but to transmit the vast bandwidth of a video signal (one thousand times wider than an audio signal) required carrier frequencies of an order of magnitude higher than those that had been used previously for broadcast purposes.

	The Civil Rights Movement and Television
		When television covered the consumer boycotts and the school desegregation battles in the early days of the Civil Rights Movement, it was usually in a detached manner with a particular focus on the most dramatic and sensational occurrences.
		Television ultimately legitimated and lent new urgency to the decade- long struggle for basic human and civil rights that the Civil Rights Movement had difficulty achieving prior to the television age.
		In fact, it was television's coverage of the Civil Rights Movement's crises and catastrophes that became a prelude to the medium's subsequent involvement with and handling of the later social and political chaos surrounding the Black Power, Anti-War, Free Speech and Feminist Movements.

	Chapter 5: The Press and Television
		Television had indeed cut deeply into newspapers' national advertising revenues, but newspapers' commanding lead in overall receipts seemed to diminish the upstart medium's potential advertising threat, particularly in the first half of the 1950s.
		Television's increasing influence was evident in the medium's coverage of the 1952 and 1956 national political conventions; television dominated the proceedings.
		The audiences for the televised events were far larger than in 1948, and the massive television crews the networks used to staff the conventions seemed for the first time to intrude on turf previously reserved for delegates and for print and radio reporters.
