Video Display Technology Installed at Columbia Missourian
|
|
The School installed its first cathode-ray editing terminal, also known as a video display terminal (VDT), in the Columbia Missourian newsroom. Subsequently, all students in the editing course learned the fundamentals of electronic editing. In 1977, the Missourian Publishing Association gave the newsroom new equipment valued at $80,000 that included eight VDTs, a Compugraphic unified print-out terminal and modular editing desks. "The Missourian continues to have one of the most advanced newsrooms in the country through this gift," Dean Fisher said.
Video display terminals (top, center) used for editing began the slow phase-out of typewriters in the newsroom (bottom).
