humznized radio

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Could anyone help me with the following underlined sentence. I am not quite sure what it means.


President Franklin Delano Roosevelt humanized radio in a great government, national sense as it had never before been humanized. The use of radio by politicians was not a new development.

Thank you very much.

I think what the underlined phrase means is that Roosevelt spoke on the radio to his listeners as if he were speaking to them one on one.
