    DescriptionPublic service is of course an important source of government information in war - where you can hear what is going on, what direction to take. And in war, access to impartial news also becomes extra important. Or? What happens if public service were to negatively affect war morale or defense capabilities?

    In this episode you will hear about the Second World War, and about the front on the airwaves. About how German radio was taken over and became a Nazi propaganda machine, and the BBC took its first steps towards becoming one of the world's largest media companies.
