Presidential campaigns bought paid advertisements on television, and they placed much energy into the organization of their respective nominating conventions in Chicago during July 1952. This was good foresight, as the average American television set was tuned into 26 hours of convention coverage.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A commission was established by media representatives, chaired by Thomas Velotta of ABC, to work with party representatives to outline rules for the broadcast of their conventions that included guidelines for sponsorship of coverage. The commission also oversaw the outfitting of the International Amphitheater in Chicago for the live coast-to-coast broadcast of these conventions,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the first time this had ever been done as AT&T had completed the first coaxial cable spanning coast-to-coast in 1951 – a nearly $40,000,000 investment.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/1952_Republican_National_Convention" title="1952 Republican National Convention">1952 Republican National Convention</a> had been held two weeks before the Democratic convention television, from July 7–11. During the Republican convention, cameras were restricted to the sides of the floor which did not allow for close, clear shots. The Democrats took note of what did and did not work at the Republican convention. They constructed a tower in the center of the floor for television cameras to capture better quality shots of the podium. Party officials closely monitored the camera angles during proceedings to exercise control over shots. Before the convention, party officials instructed delegates to conduct themselves professionally during the convention as the cameras were broadcasting their actions to millions. From the Democratic and Republican conventions of 1952 emerged the precedent of orchestrating American national party conventions as made-for-TV events. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Television_coverage">Television coverage</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1952_Democratic_National_Convention&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Television coverage"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Daly_News_1956.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/John_Daly_News_1956.JPG/220px-John_Daly_News_1956.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="163" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/John_Daly_News_1956.JPG/330px-John_Daly_News_1956.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/John_Daly_News_1956.JPG/440px-John_Daly_News_1956.JPG 2x" data-file-width="735" data-file-height="543" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Quincy_Howe" title="Quincy Howe">Quincy Howe</a> and <a href="/wiki/John_Charles_Daly" title="John Charles Daly">John Daly</a> conducting <a href="/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">ABC</a>'s convention coverage in 1952</figcaption></figure> <p>The 1952 Democratic convention was the second political convention to be televised live, coast-to-coast (following <a href="/wiki/1952_Republican_National_Convention" title="1952 Republican National Convention">the Republican Convention</a> weeks earlier).<sup id="cite_ref-broadcasting_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-broadcasting-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Experiments in regionally broadcasting conventions took place during the Democratic and <a href="/wiki/1948_Republican_National_Convention" title="1948 Republican National Convention">Republican</a> conventions in 1948, however 1952 was the first year in which networks carried nationwide coverage of political conventions.<sup id="cite_ref-broadcasting_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-broadcasting-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After carefully watching the Republican Convention, the Democratic Party made last-minute alterations to their convention held in the same venue to make its broadcast more appealing to television audiences.<sup id="cite_ref-broadcasting_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-broadcasting-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They constructed a tower in the center of the convention hall to allow for a better camera shot of the podium, and they exercised more control over camera shots and the conduct of delegates in front of the cameras.<sup id="cite_ref-broadcasting_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-broadcasting-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the time the Democrats and the Republicans would reconvene in 1956, television would be the dominant medium of popular news coverage.

Additionally, conventions were given overlying campaign themes, and their sessions were scheduled in order to maximize exposure to prime-time audience. To provide a more telegenic broadcast, convention halls were decked-out in banners and other decorations, and television cameras were positioned at more-flattering angles.<sup id="cite_ref-broadcasting_5-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-broadcasting-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Democratic_platform">Democratic platform</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1952_Democratic_National_Convention&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Democratic platform"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Democrats favored a strong national defense, collective security against the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a>, multilateral disarmament, repeal of the <a href="/wiki/Taft-Hartley_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Taft-Hartley Act">Taft-Hartley Act</a>, equal employment opportunities for minorities and public assistance for the aged, children, blind, and the disabled, expansion of the school lunch program, and continued efforts to fight racial discrimination. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Movement_to_Draft_Stevenson">Movement to Draft Stevenson</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1952_Democratic_National_Convention&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Movement to Draft Stevenson"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Adlai_Stevenson_1952_(cropped1).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Adlai_Stevenson_1952_%28cropped1%29.jpg/220px-Adlai_Stevenson_1952_%28cropped1%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="214" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Adlai_Stevenson_1952_%28cropped1%29.jpg/330px-Adlai_Stevenson_1952_%28cropped1%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Adlai_Stevenson_1952_%28cropped1%29.jpg/440px-Adlai_Stevenson_1952_%28cropped1%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="478" data-file-height="465" /></a><figcaption>Adlai Stevenson attending the convention</figcaption></figure> <p>Governor Stevenson, who stated that he was not a presidential candidate, was asked to give the welcoming address to the delegates.

After narrowing it down to Senator Sparkman and Senator Monroney, President Truman and a small group of political insiders chose Sparkman, a conservative and <a href="/wiki/Racial_segregation" title="Racial segregation">segregationist</a> from Alabama, for the nomination. The convention largely complied and nominated Sparkman as Stevenson's running mate, though nominations were made for two other candidates for the vice presidency, Vice Chairwoman of the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_National_Committee" title="Democratic National Committee">Democratic National Committee</a> <a href="/wiki/India_Edwards" title="India Edwards">India Edwards</a> of California, and District Judge <a href="/wiki/Sarah_T._Hughes" title="Sarah T.
