History of Radio
History of Radio
Radio is the first device to that enables mass
communication. It has allowed information to be transferred far-off, nationally
and even in the most remote places. The development of the radio began in 1893
by Nikolai Tesla. His work allowed later scientists to work out the radio we
now use in our daily life.
The early uses of the radio were mainly for keeping contact
between ships out at sea. Radio was used as a way of communication with each
other as phones did not exist. This initial radio instead sent Morse code
messages back and forth between ships and stations on the land. But, radio has
developed and is now able to transmit speech. Radio used to be used in emergencies,
whereas now we use it on our way to work, school and listen to it in our free
time. It is not used to contact others but to entertain and inform us, as the
world modernised the uses of radio changed.

What is Vox Pop
Vox-Pop
The term "vox pop" comes from the Latin phrase vox
populi, which means "voice of the people". The vox pop is a tool used
in many forms of media to provide the views of the public. It is popular
opinions represented by informal comments from the public.
Random people are
asked to give their opinions on a particular topic and the responses are
presented to the viewer/audience as a reflection of popular opinion. Vox pops
are used to get an understanding of the public about a certain subject.
For video and television, the interviewer approaches people
"in the street" and asks them questions about the topic.
You can do your own vox pop by simply just asking questions
about a certain topic to the public.
