The finding is not surprising, but it is of interest that the longer the public was deprived of its newspapers the less satisfactory it found ‘the substitute news offered by’ the radio. “One survey, made between the third and fifth dtys of the strike, presented this question to the public: “You probably are getting most of your news from the redio. Is radio com- pletely filling your need for news?” Of all those queried, 76.6 per cent said no and 23.4 said yes. After the strike had been in progress almost two weeks, the question was repeated. This time 89.2 said no and only 10.8 said yes. In other words, although ra- dio in the interim had had ad- ditional time to develop its audience and perfect its.news téchniques, its shortcomings ‘were more apparent to those compelled to depend upon it for their news.
