1953, when television was the new media | Accelerating reinventions

I just watched Arte’s Mystères d’archives on the filming of Queen Elizabeth II coronation (link). It is a milestone in the history of media as it was basically the first global event to ever be broadcasted live on television. The queen is pictured as a true visionary, the world’s first monarch to use this young and emerging medium to help spread her message beyond UK borders.
