On September 16, 1931 (Showa 6), an emergency news bulletin announces the outbreak of the 'Manchurian Incident.' Until now, news has been considered the province of the newspaper, and this incident demonstrates the power of the new medium, radio. This emergency bulletin beats the rush editions of the newspapers to the street and fuels a rapid increase in the number of radio subscribers. News broadcasts become popular programs. In the coming days, other emergency radio bulletins will bring word of the Shanghai Incident and the "May 15th Incident." | ||
