2 answers

What are you including in "modern media delivery?"
Consider this:

In 1944 and 1945, when my dad was in the US Army fighting against Nazis, my mom and her parents went to the town's movie theater twice a week, whether they were interested in seeing the movie or not. What they went for was the Movietone News.

There were also newspapers and radio broadcasts, of course, but only at the movie theater could they see the films.

How do we know what's going on these days in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc.? What are the differences?
