Hear and Now 1958 pt2

How radio brings news and information to Americans. With footage of many news events covered by radio and images everyday life in the late 1950s. Explains how radio serves in the Cold War and during natural disasters. Quite an ironic little picture of showing radio's progress by showing every news clip imaginable. Everything, from President Hoover winning the election to Hindenburg ("Oh the humanity!" explosion! We do also, get a nice overview of what the radio can be used for, eg weather forecasts, traffic forecasts and announcing sales (sale on beef shanks!). Quite a simple (and obvious) film, but one which can be enjoyed on it's merits. Reccomended! part 2
