Question 2: Fiction and reality in radio
On 30 October 1938, the day before Hallowe’en, the people of America’s east coast saw themselves confronted with the unimaginable. The radio broadcaster CBS reported a huge alien invasion which, coming from New Jersey, had already reached New York despite the desperate attempts of the population to defend itself. This caused a wave of panic among listeners because of the report-like tone of the radio show, making it sound like a real news announcement instead of a fictional radio play. What play are we referring to?
