Re: [ARSCLIST] Edward R. Murrow "Hear It Now", etc.
Not sure about the speaking/reading speed, but the homogenization of
the American spoken language really started with the first national
RADIO broadcast, and affected the speech of Americans long before
television. As a former and now part time radio producer, I consider it
"TV chauvinism" to think that TV did it all. It's like saying the DVDs
changed the amount we go out to movies hen most of the change was in
the VHS era.
Just a vote for the history of reality... I was born before television,
and got a new perspective from my owrk with Buckminster Fuller, who was
born before radio... It affects what you think is natural and what is
new and artificial! Like youngsters who never touched analog recording
media, a different way of thinking.
