I don't think media would be necessary just to get light emitted from 
the screen...

Actually, it uses the diffuse amount for the amount radiosity 
contributes to the lighting of the object, but still uses the ambient 
value for the amount of light from the object itself. You usually do a 
glowing object by giving it a high ambient, though you should use 
ambient 0 for non-glowing objects.
The old radiosity used the ambient value for the amount of radiosity 
applied to the object, so ambient 0 meant that no radiosity would be 
used for the object. This is what was changed in the new radiosity.

Why?
