In Popular Media and the yank Revolution, journalism historian Janice Hume examines the ways in which generations of usa citizens have remembered and embraced the Revolution via magazines, newspapers, and electronic media.
Overall, Popular Media and the yankee Revolution demonstrates how the tale and characters of the Revolution were adjusted, tailored, and co-opted through well known media through the years, fostering a cultural identification whose founding narrative used to be sculpted, eventually, in revolution. studying press and well known media assurance of the warfare, wartime anniversaries, and the Founding Fathers (particularly, "uber-American hero" George Washington), Hume presents insights into the best way that journalism can and has formed a culture's evolving, collective reminiscence of its prior.
