There was a time that radio was the most important medium. More than any other medium in history, the radio gave people everywhere a sense of sharing what the day held for them.
It became widespread in the 1920s and 1930s but as the decades passed it became less and less important. These days, seventy years later, radio is just an in-car medium, you may and just may listen to radio while you are in your car.
Hard copy media has lost momentum to digital media. The same is expecting the print media; it is just a matter of time. Digital media is the media of tomorrow.
