"I would rather be beaten by the competition than to contribute to pressing a panic button or to disseminate information which proves inaccurate."
-CBS News President Richard Salant, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. #MediaArchiveFind

Fascinating archive find - from NARA IFCC files. How fast did TV grow after the FCC "TV Freeze" ended in 1952? Compare networked stations between 1950 and 1960. #mediaarchivefind #mediaindustries

If this sounds like "The New Journalism" or "Literary Journalism" it's because... it is. In 1938. This is from "How To Write For Ken" (1938).
This #MediaArchiveFind comes from the Shirer Papers, Coe College, Cedar Rapids IA. (3/3)

After several hundred thousand pages of #mediaarchivefind work, my book argues that the term "Public Broadcasting" was first developed by A.G. Crane of the National Committee for Education by Radio (NCER).
"Mr. Commiteemen, - try your own hand at better phrasing." #pubmedia

@MichaelSocolow @joshshepperd @AnneHummert @ykomska @Twitter I love this idea, partly because I take so much pleasure from @joshshepperd’s live tweeting his archival research. My #MediaArchiveFind isn’t remotely significant. But I often wonder what Werewolf Bookshop was like, and what was said to elicit this response from Wayne Coy.

This is from Sanford Socolow Papers, Briscoe Center, University of Texas. I have the full transcript of the meeting if anybody's researching women in the newsroom in 1970s. It's fascinating. (4/4) #MediaArchiveFind
Here CBS News president Richard Salant predicts that CBS News would have a woman president "within the next twenty years." From "Women's Meeting, July 17, 1973." In fact, it took until 2019 - 46 years - until @szirinsky was named 1st News Prez #MediaArchiveFind (3/4)

Please start tagging cool materials you've found in an archive (whether you've ever used/cited them or not) with #MediaArchiveFind & perhaps citation for future scholars. Let's turn @twitter from a bot & troll cesspool into a useful collaborative research tool (2/4)
Media Scholars: inspired by the very cool archival posts by @joshshepperd @AnneHummert @ykomska & others, I suggest we introduce a hashtag for #MediaArchiveFind - let's collaborate & help other scholars by building a network of "lost objects" here on @twitter. (1/4)
