Description
This article considers the impact and legacy of JFK's media image on the 100th anniversary of his birth. It explores his use of television, and the way in which this medium has become such a significant part of his memorialisation. It also explores the extent to which the election of Donald Trump was contingent upon the kind of media manipulation employed by Kennedy.
