why did Orson Welles read the radio broadcast war of the worlds as if it were happening at that moment, rather then just reading the novel as it was written?
Because the presentation has to fit the medium. If you were adapting a novel into a movie, you wouldn't have the entire movie be somebody sitting and reading the novel aloud. Movies are a different medium, and the story has to be told differently there for it to work. Radio is the same way. Welles' rendition is intended to preserve the drama of the original work while adapting it to a new medium. It should be noted, however, that the famous broadcast did include disclaimers to inform the audience that it was not a genuine news story.
