Including, at 8.55 am as part of Radio 3's season Breaking Free: Martin Luther's Revolution -
Reformation Bytes
1/5: Getting the Message Across - the Birth of Propaganda.
Presented by Chris Bowlby.

For anyone who finds the tone of modern social media unedifying, a glance at the Reformation equivalent is instructive. Some of Luther's ideas were around long before the Reformation but without the printing press their reach was limited. With the printing press they were explosive. Luther's rhetoric could be as offensive as any tweet, and an anti-papal 16th-century woodcut (think cartoons/graffiti) showed squatting devils excreting monks from their backsides. Many social media spats are civil by comparison.
