Media Matters

Teletype machine TG-7-B, a military version of the Model 15. From the Museum of Computer History.

Over the years WNYC has aired the proceedings of many conferences, discussions and performances about the radio, television, communications and journalism. Since they have appeared at different times and places and were put together by a variety of sponsors and organizations they don't all fit neatly into a regular series. So, we created this one to give them a home.
