Question

List AT LEAST THREE examples of how Mussolini kept complete control over how Italians got their information.

Answer 1

Answer:

- controlling the newspapers

- threatening to the journalists

- controlling the radio and TV stations

Explanation:

Once Mussolini gained power in Italy he was quick to assure that he strengthens his position, eliminate the opposition, and get the people on his side. In order to do this Mussolini used several tactics. First, the fascist took control of two thirds of the newspapers in the country, so they had direct say in what was going to be published. The fascists also gained control of the majority of the radio and TV stations in Italy, so again they had their own say what was going to be said and showed on them. The newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations that were not under direct control were constantly threatened and monitored, with the journalists having their lives at stake if they published something against the government.
