Selection Criteria
Radio. War of the Worlds is an early example of a hybrid radio form, adapting the H.G Welles story using news and documentary conventions. The broadcast and the initial response to it has historical significance as an early, documented, example of the mass media apparently having a direct effect on an audience’s behaviour. The academic research carried out into the broadcast (and the ongoing dispute about the extent of the effect) provided some of the early media audience research and the findings have been extremely influential in the media, advertising and political campaigning.
A useful overview and discussion of the context can be found here (not part of the CSP for assessment): http://www.radiolab.org/story/91622-war-of-the-worlds/

Hi, thank you for creating this resource, though I've not yet used it. However, I've found the link above doesn't work, nor does the link on slide 12; it is possible to provide the details for them, and I can look for alternatives. Many thanks
Great resource! However I can't access the video link on slide 12... is there any way I can access this? Thanks.
