Our journalism class recently discussed the topic of radio. Radio was an evolutionary piece of history, still present (but not as prominent) today. Being the first live, late-breaking medium, radio was the pioneer for modern techniques of spreading news. It gave inspiration and a lasting impression of what the seemingly endless possibilities in more recently distributed news.
Unfortunately, news started to demassify because of movies and television, and all talent and entertainment moved toward the visual representations of media. The ability for the audience to depict images in their head was lost to the image of actors. Radio is still extremely essential in the realm of music. Unfortunately, for my generation, the campfire skits and entertainment of such will never be a familiar aspect of entertainment.
