User:Panthers2020/sandbox/Television: History and Origins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am a Sydney university student writing for an assignment, writing about the History and origins of Television. I am in my third year of Uni, currently studying Arts, majoring in Marketing and International Relations. For this Wiki article I am using 3 academic sources and 2 non-academic sources to write about the various elements involved in the creation of television and the advancements made to television throughout history. I am not an expert in this field, nor am i an academic source, i am simply a university student doing research and looking to create an article that reflects the research i have done.

I will be contributing to the History of Television Stub article on Wikipedia for my Wiki Education Class. I am thinking of writing about the colour origins of television, the introduction of satellite television, and the important figures involved in creating and developing television on a global scale. This Wikipedia stub article is a great opportunity to contribute to my wiki education subject at university.
