Orson Welles's Martian invasion broadcast supposedly sent America into mass panic on Halloween eve 1938.

The panic arrived the next morning, in newspapers that were losing advertising revenue to radio and had every reason to argue radio could not be trusted with news. What really happened, what did not, and why the myth outlived the data.
