Probably the most notable single event to happen during the Golden Age of radio was the episode of ''Radio/TheMercuryTheatreOnTheAir'' which aired on October 30, 1938. Director Orson Welles headed production of Howard Koch's adaptation of ''Radio/{{The War of the Worlds|1938}}''. At the time, newspapers claimed the faux-newscast format (of the first two-thirds of the show) caused nation-wide panic. The resulting chaos is probably the reason that all subsequent US [[{{Mockumentary}} mockumentaries]] carry numerous disclaimers. It also prompted one of the first serious studies of mass media, ''The Invasion From Mars: A Study In The Psychology Of Panic'' by Princeton professor Hadley Cantril; Ironically, both the news reports of the time and much of Cantril's resulting conclusions have been called into question in recent years; still, the event was key in the launch of mass communication studies as an academic field.
