નવજીવનને સંચાર “But there are other instruments of social change which it is essential to bring into active co-operation with new statute law. We may summarily include them in the term public opinion, a supremely powerful factor in changing habits and customs; whether at work in the family, the school, the vocation, the association of consumers, the organisations for religion and culture, sport and recreation, the locality or the nation as a whole. Every influence that helps to create or to mould public opinion, the spread of new knowledge, the teaching in the schools, the utterance of the popuļar prophets, the newspaper, the pulpit, the theatre, the cinema and last by no means least-the “ wireless broadcast "-counts either as an ally of the new statute or as an opponent."
