"Approximately seventy percent of America is white and sees no real problem with prime time television. They see a reflection of themselves, so what is wrong with that? But what about the 30% so-called 'minority?' This November there was a tremendous lack of minorities in prime time television. Due to this, there has been much pressure on the entertainment industry from minority groups concerning this 'whitewash.' Why has this occurred and what can be done about it?"

"Through numerous forms of visual imagery and propaganda, Frank Capra’s government sponsored films presented various reasons for American soldiers to fight during World War II. Capra’s films conveyed certain messages: gave the history and news of the war, presented stereotypes of the enemy, pleaded for interventionism, and stated there was no alternative but to win the war and the peace."

"Adopted by the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) in 1996, the new broadcasting system, to convert to analog broadcasts to digital television (DTV) will be the first change in American broadcasting in over fifty years. The new system has the potential to include high and standard definition television, datacasting, enhanced television, and multicasting. As of April 2000, according to Bill McConnell of Broadcasting & Cable, 62% of U.S. households could receive digital signals."

"Set-top boxes, which sit on top of a television, are basically convergence devices. Depending on the type of box, they can connect to the Internet, record, pause, and rewind broadcasts, or provide multi-channel viewing. 'You hook up a set-top box to your television, plug the modem wire into a phone jack, pay a monthly Internet access fee, then sit back with your remote and wireless keyboard and enjoy the mediocrity of both worlds.' While the service may be mediocre to some, the quality of features provided by the boxes is improving daily."
