Mass Communications

The first one of these was the Radio. When people were listening to a Radio program, they were all listening to the same program - and they knew this. They were all part of the same huge audience.

FDR had his fireside chats, that made his listeners feel they were part of his family. Hitler also used the Radio to make his listeners feel part of the Third Reich, speaking to them in German. Mossulini used Italian. They all knew the importance of the spoken language, and the power it gave them.
