Kennedy: An American Fascination

October 12th, 2016, 12:20PM

The fiftieth anniversary of the tragic Kennedy assassination is coming up on November 22nd, and The Virginia Advocate is publishing a three-issue installment in honor of JFK. This edition will examine the enduring public fascination of Kennedy. I interviewed UVa Media Studies professor Aniko Bodroghkozy on her extensive Kennedy-era research. She is the author of Groove Tube: Sixties Television and the Youth Rebellion (Console-ing Passions) and Equal Time: Television and the Civil Rights Movement. She is also currently teaching a Media Studies class entitled “Media in the Kennedy Era.” Professor Bodroghkozy was kind enough to sit down for a chat and talk about all things Kennedy.
