High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio Propaganda is propaganda aimed at influencing the attitude towards a cause or position by presenting one side of an argument through the radio. No other media outlet has changed the everyday lives of people around the world as quickly and irrevocably as the radio. The radio made it possible for vast populations to listen to descriptions of events and propaganda associated with these events while they are taking place. By the early 1940s, the radio combined the entertainment of large national audiences with the selling of products from commercial sponsors. It provided national and international news coverage, and during World War II, made listeners as well informed as they had ever been. It provided both national and local programs for interest groups, foreign language broadcasts for immigrants, weather forecasts for farmers, sports broadcasting, adventure stories for children, and a variety music. Domestically, the radio was important because 90% of American families owned at least one radio and listened to it on average three to four hours a day. It was a daily companion; a window to the outside world and a trusted provider of important news and information. Internationally, the radio was an early recruit to the propaganda campaign. It willingly disseminated various governments’ propaganda in its attempt to unite listeners around the world behind the war effort.
