Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: Media (like newspapers, TV) spread info about civil rights campaigns, helping African Americans know and join, so this is valid.
2. Analyze the second option: Televised attacks on Black protesters (e.g., police brutality) made the public sympathetic, increasing support, so this is valid.
3. Analyze the third option: The first Black journalist hiring is not a direct impact of media on the Civil Rights movement's progress (more about newsroom diversity, not movement impact), so invalid.
4. Analyze the fourth option: Media coverage of discrimination and protests pressured politicians to pass civil rights - related policies, so this is valid.
5. Analyze the fifth option: Media showing police attacks didn't charge them with crimes against humanity (media reports, not legal charging), so invalid.

Answer:

• It caused more people to join the movement by alerting African Americans of civil rights campaigns taking place around the country.
• It increased public support for protesters by showing attacks on Black people on television.
• It applied pressure on political leaders to support policies designed to combat discrimination.
