Radio

A First Live Medium

The impact that radio gave upon other mediums during that as well as its impact today is really a fascinating topic. Originally thinking that radio by itself was all storytelling in the past and music now, but it was way off from what I had expected. The first live news medium, it gave news immediately to the public vice versa to the other mediums where you had to wait for it. The most intriguing thing though was actually what happened when it became less popular due to television. Instead of becoming almost extinct, it became to what seem like a better advantage than most of the other mediums. To be able to become fragmented and still surviving now, it’s an amazing feat to how they’re able to become something we still use today. Well of course, the general public still uses magazines and newspaper but it can never compare to what radio had as an advantage of:
  •          Direct communication with the audience with immediate feedback
  •          A faster, live medium
