Depends on how they are used. TV is often only on for 10 or 15 seconds,
never to be seen again. Still photos are much more accessible, you can look
at them, see them whenever you want if you have the book, magazine, paper.
These and many other reasons have to do with why one may or may not be more
influential on society's collective memory.
