Hargreaves, on pages 17-18 of his chapter on the “Brief History of News Media,” talks about the development of radio and television as being diametrically opposite that of print-based media.
Summarize Hargreaves’s argument. Show me that you understand the historical context and terminology that he is using.
Hargreaves’s argument is basically stating the development of radio and television is diametrically opposite of print based media because the technological advancement from radio to television created what we now know as mass media.
Radio and television changed the way information was spread and perceived by people. Radio and television also improved mass communication because messages could be heard and seen faster than on a printed page we’d have to read. Radio and television also changed entertainment which became apart of news.
