Good evening, to whomever is reading this letter, I am very furious about the radio broadcast that was broadcasted on Halloween. I was in my kitchen cooking dinner when I turned on the radio to listen to a little music and I heard a loud noise and people screaming. I had no idea what was going on, I felt as if the world was ending and my life began to flash before my eyes. It seemed like a normal radio broadcast due to the fact that there was weather, music, and regular news bulletin until the broadcast came to a halt and then I heard a loud noise. I had no idea that the broadcast was a fake, all I knew was I might possibly die. It all seemed so real because of the operator’s and the professor’s conversations. The screaming of the people

    The government, which was listening to what all was going on through the radio, thought that this was very strange. In the past, they had thought about there being a time when strange organisms from outer space would come to Earth, and try to take over. They decided that they would design a building that could be used to research the different things that they might come across in the future. This building would have to be very sterile so that the organisms couldn’t contaminate anything and destroy the Earth. The building was five stories high and each level was more sterile than the previous one. The building was located in the middle of nowhere underground, so that no one would know about it, unless they were on one of the teams that would be doing the r...

  • George Carlin and Radio Censorship

    4431 Words  | 9 Pages

    Comedians, George Carlin, Howard Stern, and McCow Muller had an enormous effect on the ideals of censorship in this era, trying to prove that the FCC had no right to censor radio airwaves. They questioned why words we all hear at home cannot be spoken on the radio if listeners are given a proper warning. However, there is no need for young children to be exposed to such lude material and the American people must be more reasonable about morals and stop worrying about our “First Amendment” rights. In 1978, a radio station owned by Pacifica Foundation Broadcasting out of New York City was doing a program on contemporary attitudes toward the use of language. This broadcast took place on a mid-afternoon weekday.

    The media perpetrated the first mistake that The New York Times detailed. Throughout the day of September 5, television and radio reports stated that the Israeli were safe. "Contradictor reports last night about the fate of the Israeli hostages seized by Arab Terrorists in the Olympic Village threw the public into confusion all over the world," the front-page article states. Television stations messed up by airing the unsubstantiated claim (later found to be of a policeman), and The New York Times was there to explain the roller-coaster ride that the false reports put the viewers on, including the families of the hostages themselves.

    It took little else after that to make me believe that what I had been witnessing was real. And, at the end of the twenty-five second long video, you could hear a voice call out, “Enough, already, guys,” which I had assumed was coming from whoever was holding the camera. “Just end him already before someone gets bit,” he said, and with those words, a downward turn was made in the camera’s direction as it began filming the ground and a gunshot rang out. The video then cut out.

  • War Of The Worlds Analysis

    This I believe played on a lot of cultural traditions and assumptions at that time. For starters, it was broadcasted the night before Halloween, so Hallows Eve. The listeners would have already been in the mind set of “creepy or scary” things. Second, the broadcast was altered to allow it to be more realistic like an actual radio news broadcast. On top of altering the broadcast to include pieces of news, you had fake news bulletins like “huge flaming object.” During the broadcast Wells also managed to portray very vivid descriptions and detailed images to the listeners. Such as this portion of the broadcast “Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake… They look like tentacles to me. There, I can see the thing's body. It's large, large as a bear and it glistens like wet leather... The eyes are black and gleam like a serpent. The mouth is V-shaped with saliva dripping from its rimless lips that seem to quiver and pulsate… It seems weighed down by… possibly gravity or something. The thing's raising up...” Wells used a lot of detail to give the viewer the idea that maybe this was actually real and not just a fictional play broadcasting on air. You also had in the mix cut parts of just music and then cutting back into the play. With very distinctive

  • Personal Narrative: Car Accident

    With music blasting, voices singing and talking, it was another typical ride to school with my sister. Because of our belated departure, I went fast, too fast. We started down the first road to our destination. This road is about three miles long and filled with little hills. As we broke the top of one of the small, blind hills in the middle of the right lane was a dead deer. Without any thought, purely by instinct I pulled the wheel of the car to the left and back over to the right. No big deal but I was going fast. The car swerved back to the left, to the right, to the left. Each time I could feel the car scratching the earth with its side. My body jolted with the sporadic movements of the car. The car swerved to the right for the last time. With my eyes sealed tight, I could feel my body float off the seat of the car.

    You might already have heard of the TV broadcast hijacking in Seneca, South Carolina; the story’s gained pretty wide currency on the Internet, and part of the broadcast is available on youtube, assuming it hasn’t been taken down for whatever reason. For the uninitiated, the Seneca hijacking is one of the lesser-known broadcast signal intrusions. It was big news here, but the nation news media barely touched on it. Anyway, I’ve decided to jot down my impressions of the whole thing, even though other eyewitnesses have already described it more eloquently than I could.
