The year 1905 marks an important landmark in the development of our mass media society because:
a) The halftone dot, which allowed photographs to be printed in mass publications, had been adopted.
b) None of the above.
c) The first nickelodeon opened in the US.
d) The French government dropped its sole sponsorship and dominance of the Academy and the Salon system, which in effect moved Academic painting out of the cultural spotlight.
