Week 7 - Tuesday - Orson Welles War of the Worlds

 

Hi guys,


Take a look at these videos that explain what happened in 1938 when a radio broadcast of a fictional story, caused panic. 

Make some notes for your essay in regards to how this story illustrates Stuart Hall's idea of audiences reading the media's dominant reading. 

How is the War of the Worlds example of 1938 a good example of audiences relating to a media product? What was the context of this event? How does this demonstrate power that media content creators have over audiences and how this has changed in modern times?
