Unbound. Periodical. Cover photo by Julie Katz and Tom DeWitt. Folio. Quarter-fold newsprint in blue ink. Tiny nicks and light toning at the edges, very good. A journal started by Beryl Korot, Phyllis Gershuny, and Ira Schneider in 1970 (soon after low-cost portable video equipment became available) "as a service to alternate television people". The journal ran for 11 issues and dealt with videos and other technologies as a tool for social change and making people familiar with the technologies that are controlling their lives. Includes an article on cable TV and the electromagnetic spectrum, containing charts, text, and interviews, along with "A Short History of the Laser," "The Potential Impact of the Laser on the Video Medium," "What is Television?" "Television as Town Meeting," "Alternatives for Alternative Media - People's Video Theatre Handbook," and more. One of the only periodicals devoted to video in the early 70s.
