Excerpt from Television Primer of Production and Direction
As with all things of magic, television has been surrounded with an aura of mystery and unreality. Strange powers have been attributed to it and strange conceptions of it have be come prevalent. All this is perfectly understandable, but it is a peculiarly unhealthy atmosphere for the growth of a well-grounded, intelligently controlled, socially constructive, and economically sound industry. Only widely disseminated facts and blunt, unromantic, unvarnished truths can correct this situation. Everyone concerned with television, from the transmitter manufacturer to the purchaser of an inexpensive receiver, should know and understand television as it is; not as a glamorized, furbelowed, distorted fantasy, but simply as a medium of electronic circuits, ideas, entertainment, and service.
