TASK 2- Goebbels view of radio

Geobbel believed that the radio formed a sense of escapism when it came to people within society, within the era that the radio was first produced people within society, were going through traumatic times, such as the war and therefore the radio was a way in which people could escape the burden of everyday life.
The radio is a good way to reach the masses. Not only does it entertain people it also informs them about current events that are happenning around the world.

In my opinion, the radio is not used as much as it used to be, with television becoming the more popular form of entertainment. The radios only benefit is that there are no televisions in cars and so I believe that that is the only time people really listen to the radio is in their cars. What does everyone else think? Do you all listen to the radio, or are you more into television? I wish i was still into the radio, i feel as though i am missing out a little!

I often think that Radio is much more aimed at niche markets - each station has a highly specific audience. I listen to Radio 4. my son likes jazz on Radio 2. My parents listen to the local BBc radio station. This doesn't happen as much on TV (although this phenomena is more visible with the cable and digital channels). Is this part of the evolution of Broadcast media?
