 CAIN: Chronology of the Conflict 1985
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Independent Television News (ITN) journalists went on strike over the decision by the British government and the BBC in Northern Ireland to ban the documentary 'Real Lives: At The Edge Of The Union'.
Following pressure from the British government the governors of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) prevented the transmission of a television documentary, 'Real Lives: At The Edge Of The Union', that featured an interview with Martin McGuinness, then a Sinn Féin (SF) Assembly member.
During his speech, Ian Paisley, then leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), accused the Irish government, the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), and the Catholic hierarchy of having a vested interest in Irish Republican Army (IRA) atrocities.

 U.S Presidency and Television
In other words, the president is the fulcrum around which television reportage pivots and, hence, he is well advised to monitor carefully the information he releases (or refuses to release).
One of Richard Nixon's first acts as president was to appoint Herb Klein to oversee a newly enlarged unit in the White House that would coordinate all out-going communications.
This act, perhaps more than any other, signalled that the new president would be an active player in the persuasion game and that he would deal with the mass media in increasingly innovative ways.

By 1999, China had an estimated 350 million sets—meaning almost all households had access to television in one way or another—and the television audience has increased from just 18 million in 1975 to 540 million in 1985, and to 1 billion in 1995.
Western influence on television should not be underestimated, but it is not as saturating as the proponents of cultural imperialism believe—and while there may be many American soaps filling in the dead times in the afternoon, they are not, in general, the most popular programs.
The most profitable areas of television content for media organizations intent on investing in the developing world are films, soaps, sports, and children’s programs; these transcend barriers of culture and language, unlike news and current affairs, which demand knowledge of local politics and are more likely to be subject to state control.
