The United States has become a small room in which a single whisper is magnified thousands of times. Words hammer continually at the eyes and ears of America. Every resident is constantly exposed to the impact of our vast network of communications which reach every corner of the country, no matter how remote or isolated. The tremendous expansion of communications in the United States has given this Nation the world’s most penetrating and effective apparatus for the transmission of ideas. Any one of us through these media may influence the attitudes and actions of our fellow citizens. All these media provide open doors to the public mind. This development was an inevitable result of the expansion of the media of free speech and persuasion, defined in other articles in this volume. FREEDOM of speech and its democratic corollary, a free press, have tacitly expanded our Bill of Rights to include the right of persuasion.
