– The Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago

Although it is centered on TV in Chicago, you can still this site for references. If you can’t go there, you can still find online :
– « Encyclopedia of Television » featuring articles about the great figures of television (Oprah, Dan rather, Ronald Reagan, etc.), a summary of the most famous US series and programs, and articles about current issues like reality program (compare their definition to what we call reality TV in Europe), tabloid Television, racism and ethnicity, terrorism, TV technology, etc.
My only regret is that there are no videos and very few pictures. But the articles are very interesting and useful.

– « Docufest » offering videos and lesson plans on several subjects. Civil rights presents an interview of Malcolm X which is very interesting, although there is only a short summary and no full transcript. The videos come with a lesson plan and suggestions to start a class discussion.
