Welcome. This is the discussion space attached to the Film and Media Atlas, covering the forms, figures, works and organizations of media history, with every claimed first naming its competing claimant, KDKA beside the other early broadcast claims and Baird beside Farnsworth among them. A few house rules: keep a disagreement about the record rather than about people, and cite what you can.
The atlas itself is still being built. Every room below carries an opening note from the curator to start it off, and you are welcome to open your own thread on anything those rooms cover, or to use this room for whatever does not fit a narrower one.
