from Tirunelvelikaran · host Bragadeesh Prasanna

The main headlines for any paper after the Presidential election is just one. How can a newspaper get it 100% wrong? That too, 1,50,000 copies printed.  The role of media in any presidential election is very important. Until recently the politicians believed the Newspapers and the TV cameras are the only window through which people can see them. Hence as the media evolved to different forms it took the politicians along with it to play along. Sometimes it said that is what the viewers wanted to see. Sometimes it gave the audience something new.  This episode contains Chicago Tribune Debacle with Harry S. Truman and 1948  presidential election.  The way Eisenhower first dabbled with TV advertisements for presidents and the Remington Rand company's Univac's introduction to media and politics.  Why Navy blue became power suite and Grey suit became a thing of past? May be it has something to do with the Presidential debate of Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Nixon in 1960.  Do give it a listen, if you found it interesting drop in a comment, spread the word. Your feedback means a lot.
