On quiet days in shows and books. one will often hear the phrase, "No news is good news!" Is it true that one day there really was no news on the BBC Radio?
On the Brink
In the 1930's, the world was still shaken up from World War I, a catastrophic event meant to end all wars. Some worried they were on the brink of another. These interwar years were filled with tension. There were some people who were alert and expecting the worst.
On a Good Friday, the eighteenth day of April, in the year 1930, the radio announcer's voice blared into homes across Britain like it had the day before. However, there was no headline but that of there being no news. Piano music followed and played for the rest of the radio show.
Importances and Differences
During a time where people were that worried, it was almost relaxing to have no news and music. It was a mark of innocence, respect, and hope.
Nowadays, the news is always updating, pinging, and such. We always hear of shootings, or trials, or natural disasters. One day, one can wish, we can have a no news day. No news really is good news sometimes.
