Since the early 1900s, media start influencing and dictating the way we live our life and the way we do things.
Reading newspaper, a common sight found in singapore or maybe else where, a good way to gain knowledge and at the same time being brainwash by advertisements or hidden agenda by the goverenment. Newspaper take the form of a hard copy and laid up in a 2-D format, every piece of information is placed in together with the print advertisement to maximize the use of any space.

Look at this leaflet from the Nazi era, this picture shows that the machine ( which is USA ) is liberating Europe but at the same time shows how this machine destroy the hometown of European.

Look at how the NAZIs draw this picture, they drew them as a machine with bombs as their leg that seems to be destroying the hometown of European. The machine also had 4 arms holding money , grenades and a prisoner sleeve shirt with a hand holding a gun firing at the town of Europe … this shows that the Americans are here to get money and for their own personal interest and ruining them.

The ironic part about this picture is that the Nazis drew a American right at the top of the machine blowing trumpet and she seems like one of the native American and she is like telling the world that Americans are here to “rescue” everyone from their misery.

This is one of the example of early mass communication style, i believe that media started off as a form of not educating people but to feed them information the way the government want it to be and brainwash them!
