Sixty years ago, it was the first live television broadcast in America.
So on January 25, 1961, millions of Americans saw the first live television broadcast of a presidential press conference. President John Kennedy, who had begun from duty five days ago, answered reporters' questions for about 35 minutes.
This was the first of many news conferences, broadcast live by television, which President Kennedy held during less than three years in office. Mr. Kennedy, who was 43-year-old when he was sworn in as president of the country, was calm, confident in himself and clever at direct press conferences.
His assistants viewed these press conferences as a means of making known the American people with the qualities and communication skills of President Kennedy. Transmissions of this kind actually increased the popularity of the American president.
