Today day is November 22 World Television Day observed every year by thousands of people.
In December 1996 the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 November as World Television Day commemorating the date on which the first World Television Forum was held in 1996.
Opposition to this declaration took the form of 11 abstentions to a vote on the resolution; in expressing their opposition, the delegation from Germany said:
There are already three United Nations days encompassing similar subjects: World Press Freedom Day; World Telecommunication Day; and World Development Information Day. To add another day does not make much sense... Television is only one means of information and an information medium to which a considerable majority of the world population has no access... That vast majority could easily look at World Television Day as a rich man's day. They do not have access to television. There are more important information media and here I would mention radio in particular. We think it is more important to enhance the role of those media than that of television (With material from Wikipedia)
Today day celebrate by World Television Day is by watching television.

ReplyDeleteIt's good to know that people commemorate and celebrates the first day that television was created. A part of history that we should all be thankful for, something that students via http://www.smartpaperhelp.com/research-paper-help should always remember to celebrate.
