FROM KENNEDY TO THE CZECH VELVET REVOLUTION: TELEVISION WAS, IS AND WILL BE THE VIEWER’S GUIDE THROUGH MODERN HISTORY

28. 10. 2024 Television has shaped modern history: from the rise of John F. Kennedy in the USA, through the Watergate scandal, and the tragic footage of the Challenger disaster, to the fall of the Berlin Wall and Princess Diana’s funeral procession. It has been both a witness to and a catalyst for change, including in the Czech Republic—it broadcast the 1968 invasion, showed the revolutionary days of 1989, and shaped opinions during the first direct presidential election. Today, in combination with social media, television influences the world more than ever. What has been its historical role so far? The Rise and Fall of JFK: A Career Framed by the Lens John F. Kennedy’s political career unfolded on television screens. This was logical, as Kennedy’s charisma and celebrity status made him seem like a face made for television cameras. In 1960, he won the first televised presidential debate in the USA; this moment likely catapulted him to the top of the state. His opponent, Richard Nixon, looking tired after illness and refusing makeup, appeared less attractive than the fresh, youthful, and prepared Kennedy—an unfortunate strategic mistake. This debate beautifully illustrates the power of television: while Kennedy overwhelmingly won the hearts of television viewers, those who only listened to the debate on the radio were much more inclined towards Nixon. Presentation, to a degree, triumphed over content. Just three years later, on 22 November 1963, television cameras became witnesses to the last chapter of Kennedy’s life, when he became a victim of an assassination in Dallas. The whole of America mourned together with the screens. Along with the young idealistic president, the idea of an idealistic America died. Hope turned to sorrow, then to scepticism.
