RTV Theory and Practice - Special Issue

seen and heard«. I doubt whether a formula be found according to which this will be solved with the exception of those principles set forward by Comrade Nuhić... The fundamental problem Ues in the fact that there is simply not enough time on television to satisfy all requests, not even to do everything which we ourselves would like...
