1950s media landscape

The 1950s media landscape was dominated by three main channels: radio, newspapers, and the emerging television. Radio remained popular for entertainment and news, while newspapers were the primary source of daily information. Television gained rapid popularity, transforming entertainment and news delivery with visual content, leading to the decline of some print media. Advertising shifted focus to TV and radio, shaping consumer culture. This era marked a transition from a print and radio-centered media to a visual, broadcast-oriented one, laying the foundation for modern mass media consumption.
