- Summary
-
These articles are not, in sum, an anthology; they have never before appeared in print. They do not represent a symposium, aspiring to be an organized or comprehensive collection of opinion on the subject of television. They are an authoritative miscellany of information, inside revelation, technique analysis, reportage, evaluation, and opinion. Some of the information and many of the judgments expressed by the various authors may be familiar to close observers of the medium as a social force and pretender to the status of an art form. Nevertheless, for the general reader there are pieces fresh in many respects; there are useful· overviews; and there exist to he discovered by the discerning reader a fine clash of subjectivities which cannot fail to amuse him if he will compare. Most of the articles are companion essays commissioned by the CBS Television Network in 1960 for publication in different issues of a projected quarterly magazine.
