Lecture on Radio Review

Radio was a very important media, in my opinion. It was the first live mass media.  It was also a very different form of media compared to the other types of media at that time (newspapers, magazines, and books). Before if something happened, people would have o wait for the next newspaper to come out to learn about it. When radio came out, people could learn about news seconds after an event happened. It grew popular the same way the internet and TV did. Within about 20 years radio went from not being popular at all to nearly every home having a radio in it. I thought it was interesting that radio used to have shows with actors and other forms of entertainment that we see on TV now days. I only listen to music on the radio, so its weird thinking about people listening to fictional shows on the radio.
