A student gives a presentation on the famous 1938 radio broadcast War of the Worlds by Orson Welles. The broadcast was supposed to be a fictional (not true) account of hostile aliens visiting Earth.

Which medium would best suit the purpose of his presentation?

an audio clip of the actual radio broadcast
a photo of the author Orson Welles
a chart on population statistics of the United States in 1938
a movie clip from a recent movie about aliens
