A.

Background Story
When radio first became popular, it was not used as a source of
information; rather for entertainment purposes. This began to change with a man
named Edward R. Murrow. Edward Murrow was an American who traveled to
England in order to broadcast news about World War II. More people also began
to rely on radio for information after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. People found
out about the bombing through President Roosevelt's broadcast interrupting their
daily programming. It set Americans on edge, and people began to rely more
heavily on the radio for major announcements throughout World War II. World
War II was a time where radio broadcasting became a much larger industry
because it was the easiest and quickest way for people to get updates on what was
going on throughout the world.
Informative radio continued while television reporting
also began to take flight. Throughout the 40's and 50's
television news sources grew, but radio still dominated. It
wasn't until John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963 that
television newscasting took off. Radio could only capture the
sound of the event, but television showed people the true horror
of the assassination. This was one of the first major events in
which news companies competed with each other to get the
news out to the public first. CBS News was the first to report
that Kennedy had been shot and was killed. News crews spent
the next several days covering everything happening in
Washington, including Kennedy's funeral. This set the standard
for news stations to have to cover major events quicker and get
them out to the public as they were happening. The JFK
assassination helped to transform television journalism to how
it is today, with instantaneous coverage and live coverages at
major events. Television offered faster coverage than radio and
allowed viewers to feel more as if they were experiencing the
event because they could visualize exactly what was going on.
NBC (National Broadcasting Company) and CBS
(Columbia Broadcasting System) were the two competing
 forces of news broadcasting in the early years of broadcast
journalism. NBC was established in 1926 and CBS in 1927.
There was a divide in the industry because they were not only
competing against each other, but radio news that had already
been established.
Both radio and television are major sources for
broadcast journalism today, even with rapidly expanding
technology. Television still focuses on covering major events,
but radio broadcasts focus more on analyzing stories rather than
reporting breaking news. The internet often beats out broadcast
journalism in terms of reporting breaking news, and the field of
broadcast journalism is constantly having to adapt to the
changing technology of today.

B. Advantages

teenagers, and old people. Everyone get amusement from it with with wide off
array channels to choose from. Secondly, It is a source and a medium information.

And then, the television provides a strong bonding to the audience. when a
family watches television together, they unconsciously strengthen their family
bonds. Lastly, television can relieve stress. People can watch comedy shows that
are able to make laughs or watching movies that are fun to enjoy.

C. Disadvantages

who have not been able to sort out events that match their age. Many programs
that are not for children and use inappropriate words. The world of health,
watching television continuously results in obesity and minus eyes. Television
also caused the audience to become addicted and never stopped not watching
television. So, there are many people don’t use their time as well as possible.
Television is also easy to poison teenagers with an unreasonable spectacle that is
eventually emulated in everyday life. Otherwise, television also makes electricity
wasteful.

D. The Reason Television still On than Radio

Television provides something colorful, creative, and persuasive. Where
the images on television really spoil the eyes and mind for anyone who watches it.
While the radio, people are only able to hear sound. Even though radio can play
the imagination of listeners. Sometimes, listeners feel bored with monotonous

the reason why television is still active in the midst of the internet world rather
than radio.
