Answer 1

Newton Minow's speech was intended for television broadcasters.

Explanation:

Newton Minow was appointed as chairman of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after which he  gave his first speech on May 9, 1961.

His speech had marked the end of Golden Age of Television in America.

As per Minow, whatever was shown on television at that time was a huge wasteland. The things to be enjoyed in television are very few.

He suggested that broadcasters should broadcast things that show some respect to the needs of children. Broadcasters should own some social responsibility and telecast things that are related to advancement of education and culture. The programs should have some responsibility, morality and good taste that people enjoy while watching.
