RADIO AS MASS MEDIA

A Brief Look Back

Did you
know?
When the United States
entered the first world
war in 1917, all radio
development was
controlled by the U.S.
Navy to prevent its
possible use by enemy
spies. The U.S.
government took over
control of all patents
related to radio
technology.In 1919, after
the government released
its control of all patents,
the Radio Corporation of
America (RCA) was
established with the
purpose of distributing
control of the radio
patents that had been
restricted during the war.
