which advancement characterized the \digital age\ of mass media?
real - time communication and content democratization through social media
the invention of the printing press
expansion of radio programming
live television broadcasts of historical events

Explanation:

• Question 6: The bandwagon technique plays on the idea that if everyone is doing something, you should too. Testimonial uses endorsements, name - calling is negative labeling, and card - stacking is presenting only certain information.
• Question 7: Propaganda is not about objective presentation of facts. It often simplifies (to make it more palatable), repeats (to reinforce the message), and uses emotional appeal (to sway people).
• Question 8: The digital age is characterized by real - time communication (e.g., instant messaging) and content democratization (anyone can post on social media). The printing press was earlier, radio expansion was in a different era, and live TV broadcasts are not unique to the digital age.

Answer:

1. A. Bandwagon
2. B. Objective presentation of facts
3. A. Real - time communication and content democratization through social media
