An engineer interested in journalism
My major is engineering, but I have a long term passion for journalism and the media in general. Therefore, my career choice is to be a TV producer. One thing that excites me about the media industry is that it has evolved from time to time, and each historical era has different inventions associated with the media. Therefore, I chose an image of the Pye LV30C single-channel television preserved in the Museum of Technology in the UK. This was a 1950s television made of Cathode Ray Tube and invented by Philo Taylor Farnsworth. This primary source interests me because it gives the history and evolution of the media since the 1940s. The source relates to Chapter 24 of the textbook, especially the topic on the TV world that describes the invention of the TVs. Generally, the invention of the TV became a major source of information in the 1950s and hugely replaced traditional media channels, including the newspapers. Secondly, the TV changed people’s lifestyles through the aired programs on eating habits, politics and many more.
