The Responsive Chord (book)  

Definition

  • This classic book in the mass communication literature has been widely cited by both scholars and practitioners because it uses a communication principle called resonance to outline both a theoretical and a practical approach to creating electronic media messages. The author contends “presearch” is critical to creating a persuasive radio or television message that will “use the audience as a workforce” by evoking a response from each listener's or viewer's personal experiences and background.
