The Tet Offensive was considered a turning point during which media became less upbeat and more oriented toward the violence of the war.
Explanation:
The broad scope and extreme violence of the Tet Offensive in 1968 affecting a number of cities and locations in South Vietnam, such as Saigon, capital of South Vietnam, the US Marines Corps main base at Da Nang, Hué City, a major cultural center, the Marines outpost at Khe Sahn, etc. was broadcast by TV networks and watched in most American households. For some reason, television, a novel means of communication at the time, was not censored for the best part of the Vietnam War and, for the first time in U.S. History, showed the crudeness, savagery and brutality of war to the civilian population.

Katniss insists that she does not act emotionally for two reasons. One of these is the fact that the Reaping is being televised throughout Panem and she does not want to give the Capitol the satisfaction of seeing her cry. The other reason is that she has always had to be the "strong one" and she wants to continue to do that for Prim and her mother's sake. She does not want to upset them any further.
