Vietnam became the first major conflict to be viewed by the American people through TV media format .

Explanation:

The Vietnam War was actively covered using TV media. In fact, it was the first war to be covered using this type of media. A lot of journalists from both the United States of America and Vietnam went into the battlefield and covered various aspects of the war.

By doing so a lot of news was able to reach the people immediately. However, it came at a cost as a lot of journalists lost their lives in as they were caught in the crossfire too amidst the war.
