Answer:

About the fact that it has been fifty years since that bright autumn day in Dallas, many Americans continue to lament and be fascinated by the youngest man ever elected president. Neither Garfield nor McKinley could claim to have had such an indelible impact on the American psyche. JFK remains a vivid figure half a century after his death for a number of reasons. The then-nascent news medium of television was perhaps the most significant contributor to his "afterlife" in American culture. Kennedy was the first president to hold live broadcast news conferences, and many Americans had a closer bond to the man in the White House as a result of those events. Television was there when he died, in a manner that no other news source could match.
