President Franklin Roosevelt was famous for which method of mass communication that became a hallmark of his presidency?
  1. State of the Union address
  2. Fireside chat
  3. The president's weekly radio address
  4. A weekly “Ask the President” newspaper column
Explanation
Answer: B - FDR's fireside chats were evening radio broadcasts that drew massive audiences throughout his presidency and became one of the things with which he has been most readily identified ever since his presidency. The broadcasts occurred irregularly at Roosevelt's discretion; there were 30 broadcasts from 1933 to 1944, during the Great Depression, administration of New Deal policies, as World War II began, and lasting until the president's death shortly before the war ended. They drew larger audiences than the most popular entertainment broadcasts of the day.
