Quotation of the Week

27th September

There was much debate about the social effect of broadcasting with fears that the wireless would keep people from attending concerts and plays or reading books. The Headmaster of Rugby School lamented that instead of solitary thought, people would listen in to what was said to millions of other people, which could not be the best things. There was little appreciation of the way in which radio could expand audiences to the benefit of all media and increase the number of readers.

Michael Carney and Kate Murphy, Hilda Matheson: A Life of Secrets and Broadcasts (2023)
