The document discusses the impact of television on news and culture according to scholars Neil Postman and Camille Paglia. Postman argues that television has shifted news from print's focus on facts and reason to imagery and oversimplification driven by time limits and corporate interests. Paglia counters that television has spread information to wider audiences and should not be dismissed by cultural elites. Both note television's power over audiences through constant imagery but disagree on whether education or television better represents reality.
