They have radio, television and newspapers. In times of stress and confusion, however, rumor emerges and becomes rife. At such times different kinds of news are in competition: the press, television, and radio versus the grape vine.
Especially do rumors spread when censorship is required on many important matters. The customary news sources no longer give out enough information. Since the people cannot learn through legitimate channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up ‘news’ whenever they can and when this happens, rumor thrives.
