Then, read the article published in the Hollywood Reporter titled "Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds Broadcast: Its Ominous Echoes for a Fractured Media." Do a quick search for some other sources with information about the radio broadcast and read or listen to them as well. Answer each of the following questions in a few sentences on this discussion board.

Discussion Questions
1. Do you believe that people overreacted to this radio broadcast, or was the overreaction a fabrication fueled by national media sources?
2. To what degree do current media sources influence peoples' behaviors concerning fear?
3. What is there to gain by media sources by promoting false information? What are the consequences?

Peer Responses
Then, respond to two of your peers, with each response equalling 50+ words. Your responses should be thoughtful and add depth to the original responses, so simply agreeing with or complimenting your peers' responses will not earn you credit.
