Postwar America had gone through a media transformation that was largely driven by the introduction in the 1950s, and eventual flowering in the 1960s, of broadcast television.
Newspapers like the Graham family’s’ Washington Post and news magazines like Henry Luce’s Time still had a big impact on politics, as Halberstam describes, but the game-changer, the medium that changed the way the political game was played, was the new medium, with its powerful new capabilities, which was television.
Again, one of the drivers of the transformation is the introduction of a new media distribution system with new capabilities, in this case the Internet.
