The most widely diffused communications have probably tended to retard rather than to accelerate social change. It would also appear that the most general effect of communications upon public opinion has been the reinforcement of already existing opinions. Recently all mediums of communication have been co-ordinated as weapons of total war. Such co-ordination is likely to produce hitherto unobtainable evidence concerning the social effects of communications and to improve present methods of analysis
