A Favorite News Source
The electronic media -- television and radio -- have more acute
problems than does press when it comes to news reporting. A normal
broadcast covers only a small part of a news day. The object is to 
transmit the gist of a story without supplying its background. The 
electronic media have their intrinsic shortcoming, their transient
nature. The reader or listener may miss an important story; if his 
attention wanders. On the other hand, radio and television present
news in a terse and exciting way. They have been accepted as the most 
cogent presentation of news, and preferred and believed above newspaper 
by most people.
