Each form of mass communication has advantages and disadvantages. There is no secret about that. Proponents of each medium, at various times in history, have claimed accurately they are better than the others. But is any medium better in all ways? No. As a media history buff with a master of arts degree in mass communication-journalism, I can report the invention of radio did not doom newspapers, no matter how hard radio advertising staff members tried to broadcast that narrative to consumers in the early days of the once-mighty NBC Red and Blue networks. Both radio networks are defunct today. But radio continues. So do newspapers.

I pieced together community supports, a sliding scale clinic when I had the flu, a visit to Planned Parenthood to address a lump in my armpit (it was fine), lots of consulting Dr. Google.
