The inventors, directors, animators, journalists and industrialists who made the media: from Niepce and the Lumieres to Kurosawa, Varda and Murrow. The atlas groups them by the role that defines their historical significance: directors and filmmakers, technology pioneers by medium, journalists and broadcasters, comics creators, and industrialists, publishers and executives.
