Kennedy used the emerging television media industry to promote his political stance.

His debates were televised during the 1960 presidential campaign with Vice president Richard Nixon and this changed the nature of politics in America. Most people consider Kennedy the first TV president and TV coverage of his assassination ushered in the era of live television news. When CBS went on air for three days of coverage that is when people realized the power of TV as a journalistic medium.
